SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance has been designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance. When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type appliance provides intense heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen appliances, including the following:

Read this Use and Care Manual thoroughly before using your new appliance. This will help to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions which came with this appliance. Be sure to have a qualified technician install and ground this appliance before using.

Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so you will know how and where to turn off the gas to the appliance.

If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely sealed. Finding a gas leak is not a

“do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician.

If by some chance a burner goes out and does not re-ignite and gas escapes, open a window or a door to let the room air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance until the gas has had time to dissipate.

This appliance has been factory assembled for Natural Gas or Liquid Propane as indicated by the model number.

Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified service technician.

WARNING:

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.

WARNING:

Do not store items of interest to children on or around the Drop-In Cooktop.

Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto or reach across the appliance to reach these items.

Never store anything on the cooktop. Flammable materials can accidentally catch fire, plastic items may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined.

Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.

If the appliance is near a window be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cooktop burners; they could catch on fire.

Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or too close to any burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
