Important Safety Instructions

General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

warning

•If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

•If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or operate an appliance that has been damaged or dropped. Do not operate the rotisserie motor if it is damaged or malfunctioning.

•Make sure that this appliance has been properly installed by a qualified installer according to the accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut-off valve and the electrical outlet so that you know where and how to turn off the gas supply and disconnect power to the appliance.

•Use only the type of gas specified on the product data label on the back of the unit.

•To prevent hazardous combustion by-products from being drawn inside the house or building, keep the appliance clear of fresh air inlets.

•Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. All other service should be done by a qualified technician. Contact the Dacor Customer Service Team for examination, repair or adjustment.

•Before performing any type of cleaning or service, or moving the appliance, make sure that the gas supply is turned off and the power plug is disconnected from the electrical outlet.

•Do not install or use this appliance under unprotected overhead combustible materials.

•In the event of a power failure, use only the Dacor supplied match light tool or a long stemmed match.

•A MINIMUM clearance of 10 inches (254 mm) 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 clearance of 1 1/4 inches (32 mm) must be maintained, above the countertop material, from all non-combustible vertical materials on the sides and behind the outdoor grill chassis and canopy.

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

warning

•A MINIMUM clearance of 1/4 inch (6 mm) 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 (6 mm) must be maintained in back and 1/16 inch on the sides.

•A MINIMUM clearance of 3/4 inch (19 mm) 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 operation.

•Keep items that could explode, such as aerosol cans away from the outdoor grill and burners. Do not store flammable or explosive materials in adjacent cabinets or areas.

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

•On models OB52 and OBS52 equipped for use with a LP tank, use only a two stage regulator on the gas supply line.

•IMPORTANT: The outdoor grill and rotisserie motor are both equipped with a three prong grounding electrical plug to minimize the possibility of an electric shock hazard from this appliance. They must be plugged into a grounded, electrical outlet that meets local code for use with outdoor appliances. It is the responsibility of the customer to make sure the correct type of outlet, meeting local code, is installed. Do not under any circumstances:
