-1990 A suitable exhaust hood must be installed above

the range / cooktclp. The following chart indi-

cates the minimum blower capacity recommend.

ed for hood ventilation.

These ranges and must be installed in conjunc-

tion with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See Step

1 for ventilation requirements.) Due to the profes-

sional high heat capacity of this unit, particular

attention should be paid to the hood and duct

work installation to assure it meets local building

codes. To eliminate risk of burns or fire by reach-

ing overheated surface units, cabinet storage

located above the surface units should be avoided.

.{:;f1U ~[;: Ventilation hoods and blowers

are designed for USt' with single wall ducting.

Howeve1; some 10ctOrl building codes or inspectors

may require doubu' wall ducting. Consult local

building codes and/or local agencies, before starting,

to assure that hood and duct installation will meet

local. requirements.

Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce

noise and loss of heated or air conditioned house-

hold air when ma>:imum ventilation is not

required. Normally, the maximum blower speed

is only required when using the B-B-Q grill.

For best smoke elimination, the lower edge 06 the

hood should be installed a minimum of 30" to a

maximum of 36" above the range cooking sur-

face, -See Fig. 3. If the hood contains any com-

bustible materials (i.e. a wood covering) it must

be a minimum of ;36" above the cooking surface.

Check local building codes for the proper

method of range installation. Local codes vary.

Installation, Electrical connections, and

Grounding must comply with all applicable

codes. In the absence of local codes, the range I

cooktop should be installed in accordance with

the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-

1988 and National Electrical Code ANSI I NFPA

70-1990.

Be sure that the unit being installed is set up for

the kind of gas being used. The gas range is

shipped from the factory set and adjusted for

Natural Gas. If LP Gas (propane) is to be used,

refer to Step Five for instructions on converting

the range for LP use. (The unit is shipped

equipped for LP conversion: no additional parts

are required, but adjusting is necessary) Only a

qualified service technician or installer should

make this conversion.

Due to a high volt;Lme of vent.~lation air, a source

of outside replacenrlent air is recommended. This

is particularly imp'Drtant for tightly sealed and

insulated homes. A reputable .heating and venti-

lating contractor s]t1ould be consulted.

ideal for this purpose. Do not over tighten.

Replace oven burner orifice and oven broiler ori-

fice with orifices supplied as described in steps 5

&6.

The Range is shipped from the factory set for

Natural Gas. When converting the appliance to

L.P. gas, it is necessary to install the factory sup-

plied air shutter on the oven broiler burner ven-

turi. The air shutter is located at the back of the

unit attached to the oven broiler burner tubing

8. REASSEMBLY

Reverse procedures ro install the burners. Make

sure that the burner is correccly centered on the

orifice. Before replacing all the grates erc., go ro

the next section "Hook Up". Ir is necessary ro

adjust all the air shurrers (excepr the oven broiler)

and the low serring prior ro final assembly, Step

7, Tesr and Adjusrmenr.

9 HOOK UP

A manual valve must be installed external to the

appliance, in an accessible location from the front

for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The

supply line must not protrude beyond the back of

the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at

the wall valve before connecting the appliance.

*NOTE- The Arrou' on the Regulator indicatIng

direction of gas flow should be pointing towards the

front of the unit.

**The flex line for the gas supply must be metal

and be approved by an approved certifying

agency (AGA, CGA, or U.L.). Never use a hose

made of rubber or other synthetic material, as the

heat may cause the hose to melt and develop

leaks.

The backguard is installed after the gas connec-

tion is made. The backguard must be installed

when there is less than a 12" clearance betWeen

combustibles and the back of the range (above

the cooking surface:) -See Fig. 3. A stainless steel

trim channel is available for covering the back-

guard mounting flanges for an island installation

-See Fig. 16

The gas supply connections should be made by a

competent technician and in accordance with local

codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local

code, the installation must conform to the

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 223.1-1988, latest

edition.

.CAUTION: The appliance must be isolat-

ed from the building s gas supply piping system by

closing its individual manual shut-off valve during

any pressure testing of the gas supply piping ~ystem at

test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig

(3.5kPa.). II

FIG. 15:

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping sys-

tem during any pressure

testing of the system at the test pressures in excess of

1/2 psig (3.5kPa.)."

When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet

pressure to the regulator should be at least 70" WC.

for natural gas or 12.0"forLP.

*Improper or lal:k of adjustments will void your

warranty.

.CAUTION: For Warranty coverage, DCS

requires that burner adjustments be made by a qual-

ified technician at the time of installation. Extreme

care should be used when adjustments are made

after installation. *

Check for the proper burner flame characteristics

and adjust air shutters if necessary -See Figs 17-20.

Each valve and air shutter is individually tested

and adjusted prior to shipment. Normally adjust-

ment is not required, however, vibration during

transit, gas conversion or variations in the local

gas supply may make minor adjustments neces-

sary. **

Burner flames should be blue and stable with no

yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame

from the burner. If any of these conditions exist,

check that the air shutter or burner ports are not

blocked. If this condition persists, adjust the air

shutter as required.

AD JUSTABLI~ LOW SETTING

Plug unit back in. Turn gas on. The open top

burner and grill v:llves used on your Range have

an adjustable low setting. Each valve is individu-

ally tested and adjusted on the appliance prior to

shipment. Due to fluctuations in gas pressure

and heating value or gas conversion, you may feel

it necessary to increase or decrease the gas flow at

the low position. The griddle is thermostatically

controlled, therefore, no adjustment is necessary.

To Adjust:

1. Turn knob counter-clockwise to the LITE

posItIon.

2. Once lit, turn Ithe knob back to the "LOW"

position.

If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient

air, adjust the shutter counterclockwise to

increase air inlet.

3. Remove knob.

4. Hold the valve :,haft still.-See Fig. 21

Insert a thin-blade:, flat-tipped screw driver

through the valve shaft and turn to adjust the

desired setting (clockwise-higher / counter-clock-

wise-lower). Be careful not to turn it down so

low that the flames disappear at any of the ports

or that a nuisance sparking is caused from the

igniter. Once the desired low flame setting is

achieved, replace 1:nob and turn burner off.

*1f the open top buJ"ner does not ignite, check the

spark igniter by listening for a clicking sound. If

you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner.

Check for a tripped' circuit bred'ker, blown fuse, or

poor wire connection to the igniter.

If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the

burner, indicating too much air, turn the shutter

clockwise to reduce air.

The open burner flames should be approximately

1-1/2 II high. The griddle and grill burner flames

should be 1-1/2" to 2". -See Figs. 17-18

TO CLEAN EXTERIOR SU'RFACES

The stainless steel surfaces may be cleaned by

wiping with a damp soapy cloth. Any mild glass

cleaner will remov,e fingerprints and smears. Do

not use steel wool as it will scratch this surface.

Small scratches may be removed by lightly sand-

ing, with the grain, using 120 grit paper.
