Planning the Installation

warning

This installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2.

Prevent grill combustion products from being drawn into a building through fresh air inlets: The venting system of other than a direct-vent appliance must terminate at least 4 feet (1.2m) below, 4 feet (1.2m) horizontally from, or 1 foot (305mm) above any door, window or gravity air inlet into any building. The bot- tom of the vent terminal must be located at least 12 inches (305mm) above grade.

A MINIMUM clearance of 10 inches (254mm) must be maintained, above the countertop material, from all combustible vertical materials on the sides and behind the outdoor grill chassis and canopy.

On all models except OBSB162, a MINIMUM clear- ance of 1 1/4 inches (32mm) must be maintained, above the countertop material, from all non-combus- tible vertical materials on the sides and behind the outdoor grill chassis and canopy.

On model OBSB162, a MINIMUM clearance of 2 inch- es (51mm) must be maintained, above the countertop material, from all non-combustible vertical materials on the sides and behind the chassis.

A MINIMUM clearance of 1/4 inch (6mm) must be maintained, inside the base enclosure below the countertop material, from all vertical surfaces on the sides of the appliance, except on model OBSB162. On model OBSB162 a minimum clearance of 1/4 inch (6mm) must be maintained in back and 1/16 inch on the sides.

A MINIMUM clearance of 3/4 inch (19mm) must be maintained, from the bottom of the control panel to any material for ventilation purposes. Failure to do so will block air flow through the outdoor grill and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning or improper opera- tion.

The back edge of the grill must maintain a minimum clearance (10 inches/254mm) from combustible back splash materials. Special cabinet and countertop dimensions are required.

The electrical outlet and gas service must be installed only by a qualified, licensed professionals.

The maximum gas supply pressure to the regulator must not exceed 1/2 pound per square inch.

Use only the factory supplied gas regulator or a Dacor approved replacement.

Location Planning - General

Gas and Electric Power Requirements

Prior to installation, the gas supply for natural gas or whole house LP installations must meet the specifica- tions below.

For natural gas or whole house LP installations, have a qualified plumber or gas fitter install a 3/4 inch (19mm) or 1/2 inch (13mm) gas supply line with a shut-off valve (not included). Have it installed in an accessible loca- tion that allows it to be shut off when the appliance is installed.

Circuit Requirement

120 Vac, 15 Amp.

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the elec- trical connection to this appliance is installed by a qualified electrician. The electrical installation, includ- ing minimum supply wire size and grounding, must be done in accordance with National Electric Code ANSI/ NPFA 70, (or the latest revision) or Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, and local codes and ordinances for connection of an outdoor appliance.

Locate the electrical outlet within reach of the 48 Inch (1219mm) long power cord so that it will reach when the grill is completely installed in the enclosure.

Total connected loads shown include the ignition sys- tem, interior lights and rotisserie motor.

The rotisserie motor should be plugged into the same grounded outlet power source or an alternate 120 Vac duplex outlet located on the same circuit as the grill.
