Safety

Liquid Propane Tanks

ImpORTANT:

Your Dacor

grill is designed to be safe when

installed properly. However, care must be

used as these grills can produce very high

temperatures which increases the potential

for injury or accidents. We recommend you

always follow the safety notes listed below.

NOTES:

1. Carefully read this manual before using

the grill, this will reduce the risk of

injury due to fire or electric shock.

2. Proper installation is extremely

important. Refer to the installation

instructions included within the

literature kit which shipped with your

grill. Your installer should show you the

location of the gas shut off valve and

the electrical connection. You should

also be familiar with the correct and

easiest way to shut off these utilities

in case of an emergency. Minimum

clearances to combustible materials

should always be observed. Reference

the correct clearances in the installation

instructions.

3. For proper outdoor grill operation (and

drawer operation on units with a cart),

use the outdoor grill only on a level

surface.

4. Repair and replacement of any parts

within this appliance should be referred

to an authorized Dacor

service

technician.

5. Children should never be allowed to sit,

stand, or play around the grill at any

time. Children should never be allowed

to crawl inside the grill cart. Remember,

when in use, the grill will get hot

enough to cause severe burns.

6. Avoid the potential for grease fires by

frequently cleaning the grease tray.

Always allow the unit to completely cool

down before removing the grease tray

for cleaning.

7. Keep hands and fingers away from all

edges of the canopy while in the raised

position.

8. Never move the grill during cooking.

9. Always keep the canopy closed when

moving the grill cart.

10. Spiders and insects can nest in the

burners of this grill. This can obstruct

the proper flow of gas into the burner

and cause improper operation, fire

hazard and potential damage to the unit.

Periodically inspect the burners. If any

of these symptoms occur, immediately

refer to service or the troubleshooting

section of this manual.

11. Your outdoor grill is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug to protect

animals against shock hazard. This

plug should be plugged directly into

a properly grounded three-prong

receptacle. Never cut or remove the

grounding prong from this plug.

12. The grill canopy should be closed

during the pre-heating period.

13. Gas Smells:

•

If you smell gas when the unit is not

in use, immediately shut off the gas

at the main valve, open the canopy

and call your local service agency

to inspect the unit. Finding a leak is

not a do-it-yourself process.

•

If you smell gas when the unit is

in use, immediately shut off the

gas at the main valve, open the

canopy, and dissipate for at least

five minutes. Relight the burners

and verify that they are operating

properly. If the burners fail to light

or are not functioning properly, shut

off the main gas supply valve and

call your local service agency for

inspection.

14. Never block any of the vents located on

the inside or outside of the appliance,

including the ones under the control

panel. Blocking any of these vents, will

result in damage to the unit and may

cause a fire or injury.

1. dacor LP model grills are set at the

factory for LP tank installations. Use
only the dacor supplied regulator. dO
NOT ATTEMPT FIELd CONVERSIONS
FROM LP TO NATURAL GAS OR FROM
NATURAL GAS TO LP.

2. dacor grills are approved for a maximum

LP tank capacity of 20 pounds (5 gallons).
The tank must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for
LP-gas tanks of the U.S. department
of Transportation (dOT) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, tank,
Spheres and Tubes of the Transportation
of dangerous Goods. To minimize the
potential for fire or an explosion, the
following precautions should be observed
when using, filling, or storing an LP tank:

• Never use a dented or rusty LP tank.

If there is any question as to the
soundness of the tank, have it checked
by your LP supplier.

• Never use a tank with a damaged or

defective shut off valve.

• Do not over fill the LP tank. Never fill

the tank beyond eighty percent (80%)
of its capacity. Overfilling will cause
the pressure relief valve on the tank to
vent excess gas vapor. This vapor is
combustible and can ignite, causing a
fire.

• When transporting an LP tank, ensure it

is in an upright position and away from
any sources of high heat.

• Do not store additional LP tanks inside

the cart of the unit. Tanks must be stored
outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of
the direct sunlight and/or sources of high
heat, and out of the reach of children.

• LP tank supply systems must be

arranged for vapor withdrawal.

• LP tank used must include a collar to

protect the tank valve.
