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.
