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.

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.
