DCS CP-364GL User Manual

When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance is designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance.  When
using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type of 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 may not have 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; 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 or turn any electrical switch on or off until the gas has had time to dissipate.
Follow the instructions on page 1, “For Your Safety– if You Smell Gas”.

■

This appliance has been factory assembled for natural or LP gas.  It should be correctly adjusted from the

factory. 

■

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, and/or touch on any part of an appliance while in
operation.

■

Never store anything on the cooktop. Flammable materials can 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.

■

Do not use water on grease fires.  Turn all burners OFF, then smother fire with a metal lid, baking soda or use a

dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. 

■

Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or get too close to, any

burner or burner grate until it has cooled.  Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

■

Be certain to use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.

Do not use a towel or other bulky or frayed cloth in place of pot holders.  Do not let pot holders touch hot
burners, or burner grates.
