This "Overfilling" may create a dangerous condition. "Overfilled" tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tanks pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions: 1. When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total capacity. 2. If you own or use an extra spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER store it near or under the grill unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker with this warning is attached to the grill to remind you, your family and all others who may use your BBQ grill of these safety precautions. Do not remove this sticker. WARNING: Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the "LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS" section of this manual. This Grill is for outdoor use only. WARNING: Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to "HI" If . burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before trying again for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use, portions of the grill get hot enough to cause severe burns. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill, in the cart or masonry enclosure. Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure. Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury. Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst. Always use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape. Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are pushing the ignition button when you attempt to light the grill. When using the grill, do not touch the grill burner grate or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often. 3 SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can severely upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs or ignition buttons. Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions provided with this product. Have your grill installed by a qualified technician. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut off valve is located so that you know where to shut off the gas to the grill. If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a "do-it-yourself " procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the "ON" position and this must be done by a qualified technician. For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer's directions. WARNING: Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this and any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill components and making it unsafe to operate. WARNING: Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. WARNING: Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances listed. GRILL PLACEMENT GRILL EXHAUST EXHAUST VENT FLOW EX HA US T FLAME PREFERRED AIR FLOW BURNER WIND Y AR IM E PR TAK LOW IN R F AI 4 WIND SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS When using the open top burners always use flat bottomed utensils which are large enough to cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing. Position handles inward away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated with unintentional spillovers. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when turning or stirring food. For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodically for optimum performance. Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface. Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups. Never grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Without it hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard. Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeway or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only. If a cart unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool, fold the side shelf down, then push, never pull, the grill. If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of children. Do not use charcoal in the grill. Never use the grill in a windy area. Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill. Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris. Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grill or burner grate. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65-WARNING: The Burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances always operate this unit according to the Use and Care Manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas. 5 GRILL MODELS IGNITION IGNITION BGB48-BQAR BGB48-BQR BGB36-BQAR 6 GAS REQUIREMENTS Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the outside of the back wall of the Grill. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. An installer supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a FIG.01 Natural Gas qualified technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the national fuel gas code ANSI Z223.1. Gas conversion kits are available from the factory. When ordering gas conversion kits have the model number, and the type of gas (natural or LP) from your grill. *Installation must conform with TOTAL GAS CONSUMPTION OF THE GRILL WITH ALL BURNERS ON HI: BGB48-BQR - 122,500 Btu/hr BGB48-BQAR - 121,500 Btu/hr BGB36-BQAR - 92,500 Btu/hr The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.) The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.). The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1. Installation in Canada must be in accordance with the Standard Can1-b149.1 and/or .2 (installation code for gas burning appliances and equipment) and local codes. NATURAL GAS HOOK UP: Connection: 1/2" NPT male with 3/8" flare adapter. Operating pressure: 4.0" W.C. Supply pressure: 5" to 14" water column. If in excess of 14" W.C. a step down regulator is required. Check with your local gas utility company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of LP gases. TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE GRILL: Assemble as shown (Fig.01). Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location. 7 GAS REQUIREMENTS LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR): Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included. Connection: 1/2" NPT male with a 3/8" Flare adapter (included). LP Hose with a quick disconnect and fittings are included. Operating pressure: 10.0" W.C. To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig.02) after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the "HI"position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge before attempting to light the burners. To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage, remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your tank. LP TANK REQUIREMENTS: A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children. NOTE: When an LP unit is directly attached into an LP house system, the step down regulator MUST be used to reduce the supply pressure to a max. 14" W.C. and min. 11" W.C. to the grill regulator. Threading compound must be resistant to LP gas Type 1 Regulator Main Valve Bottom of unit Adapter 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare fitting Do not put threading compound on these threads LP Regulator hose assembly 10" W.C. Type 1 Tank *Installation must conform with local codes or with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 FIG.02 LP Gas 8 LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES INSULATED JACKET: Do not build the Grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction. If the Grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available from your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has specifically been designed and tested for this purpose. Location: When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke. Ensure there is adequate area for it to dissipate. IMPORTANT : Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be easily accessible. CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION: A Minimum of 12" from the sides and a minimum of 12" from the back must be maintained from the Grill above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction. (Fig. 03) Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction: A minimum of 3" clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6" side clearance to noncombustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you'll be using the rotisserie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance. The Grill can be placed directly adjacent to non-combustible construction below the cooking surface.

For non-combustible applications the grill drops into the opening shown in (Fig. 04) and hangs from its side flanges. A deck is not required to support it from the bottom. When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure application, see the bottom of Fig. 04. The jacket assembly must be supported from the bottom by a ledge on each side or a solid deck beneath the entire grill or insulated jacket. Review the detail drawing shown (Fig. 04) and take into account the provisions shown for gas line hook-up clearance in the right rear corner. It is recommended that ventilation holes are provided in the enclosure in the event of a gas leak. The supporting ledges or deck must be level and flat. The counter should also be level. 10 BUILT­IN CONSTRUCTION DETAILS grill exhaust 3" (to non-combustible construction / minimum lid clearance) 12" (to combustible construction) 13-3/4" Bottom of support flange 10" 2" 22" 25-1/2" 1-1/2" Standard layout for non-combustible enclosure: 48" Models = 45-3/4" 36" Models = 34-1/2" 10 in.2 Min. ventilation on the back side NOTE: If using a backguard apron or rear wall, locate electrical service on the right hand side for rotisserie motor connection 3" Min. for Lid Clearance 22-3/4" 10 in.

Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected. Before Testing: Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. The valve panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings. Remove the knobs and the safety valve knob, then remove the 2 screws which fasten the valve panel to the unit (you will need a Philips head for this). Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the ignition module and the back of the ignition button. Remove the screws which hold the service panel in place. Remove the service panel. To Test: Make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position. Turn the gas supply "ON". Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around the connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the manifold pipe. To check rotis burner and safety valve the burner must be lit, then leak test the connections located behind the service panel. If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility, or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the Grill. Substitution can void the warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak. Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. (Fig. 05 & 06) Bottom of unit Bottom of unit LEAK TEST POINTS CHECK HOSE FOR SIGNS OF ABRASIONS, CRACKS, OR LEAKS LEAK TEST POINTS LP TANK FIG.05 LP Gas FIG.06 Nat.

Adjustable low setting satisfactory. Drip pan in place properly and sliding freely. Pressure regulator connected and set for 4.0" W.C. Natural, 11.2" W.C. LP gas. Manual shut-off valve installed and accessible. Unit tested and free of leaks. User informed of gas supply shut-off valve location. All radiants are assembled (see page 15) and put in place. PLEASE LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE USER. USER, PLEASE RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. GRILL BURNER FLAME HEIGHT: To access the grill burner air shutters first remove the valve panel by removing it the same way as described on page 12, section "Before Testing" . With a screw driver, loosen the lock-screw on the face of the air shutter. Light the burner and adjust according to the directions (Fig. 07). 1-1/2" 3/8" SIDE BURNER FLAME HEIGHT: The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the utensil. Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height. For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never allow flames to curl up the side of the pan (see Fig.08). Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with medium to low flames. If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid, a slightly larger flame can be used. FIG. 07 Burner Flame Height Proper Flame Height Fig. 08 13 BURNER ADJUSTMENTS Grill Burner Air Adjustment: Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply or a conversion from one gas to another may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners (except the rotisserie burner) should be visually checked and compared to that of the drawing in Fig.07 and Fig. 08. Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. Proceed with air shutter adjustment. The amount of air which enters a burner is governed by a sheet metal cup at the inlet of the burner called an air shutter. It is locked in place by a set screw which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustment. To Adjust: 1. Be careful as the burner may be very hot. 2. If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the airshutter counterclockwise to allow more air to the burner. 3. If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise. 4. Once adjusted turn the burner off and reverse steps to reassemble. LOW SETTING ADJUSTMENTS: The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting. Due to fluctuations in gas pressure, heating value or gas conversion, you may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow in the low position. We do not recommend adjusting the infrared rotis burner. To Adjust: 1. Light the burner. 2. Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (all the way counter-clockwise). 3. Remove the knob. 4. While holding the valve shaft with pliers, insert a thin, flat tipped screwdriver into the shaft and while viewing the burner adjust to a minimum stable flame (Fig. 09). FIG.09 Low Setting Adjustment WARNING: IMPORTANT! Before lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas "on". If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. 14 USING THE GRILL GRILL: Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, a stainless steel heat baffles, a series of ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel rack, and a stainless steel heat retaining grate. Each burner is rated at 25,000 Btu/hr. Below burners there is a stainless steel heat baffle which reflects usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces temperatures of the drip pan below. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants which encase the ceramic rods and protect the grill burner ports from blockage. FIG.10 RADIANT ASSSEMBLY INSTALLATION: 1. Unpack ceramic rods and remove radiant (Fig. 11) from the unit. 2. Unlock radiant end cap by pushing it up with two fingers (Fig. 12). 3. Place 18 ceramic rods on the radiant (Fig. 13). 4. Lock radiant end cap (Fig. 14). 5. Place the assembled radiant in the unit (Fig. 15). FIG.11 FIG.12 FIG.13 FIG.14 FIG.15 NOTE: In case a ceramic rod breaks: a) Unlock radiant end cap by pushing it up with two fingers (Fig. 13) or pliers may be used. b) Replace broken ceramic rod. c) Lock radiant end cap. The Grill is supplied with radiant ceramic rods. Because of the porosity of ceramic rods, performance is superior in the rods' ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. They also possess the thermal mass needed for results. Flare ups are controlled because our radiant ceramic rods keeps grease from getting to the flames and igniting. The intense heat produced by this system produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices are brought to the surface of the food and caramelized. Discoloration is normal after use. 15 USING THE GRILL REPLACEMENT OF REGULATORS AND HOSE: The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. The replacement pressure regulators and hose assembly must be the type specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present. If the unit is LP, screw the regulator into the tank and leak check the hose and regulator connections with a soap and water solution before operating the grill. Turn all knobs to "OFF" then turn on the gas supply. If LP, is there gas in the tank? Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting. DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check the connections before each use. Do not attempt to "LITE" the grill if the odor of gas is present. Wait 5 minutes before relighting a hot grill. IMPORTANT - USING THE GRILL:
