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 Care and Use 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 to install and ground this
appliance before using.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply shutoff 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 tight. 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 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. Follow the
instructions on page 1, “What to do if You Smell Gas”.
This appliance has been factory assembled for natural gas. It should be correctly adjusted by a
qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas that is used.
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 technician.
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.
Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round oven door handle and
may grab and open the oven door.This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a
child, or severe burns if the oven is in use and hot.
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of any appliance.
Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to reach
these items.
