35. Always keep the canopy closed when moving the grill cart.

36. 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.

37. 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.

38. The grill canopy should be closed during the pre-heating period.

39. 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.

40. 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.

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.

Canopy Mounted Temp. Gauge

NOTES:

1. Your Dacor grill is equipped with a canopy mounted thermometer to assist you in various grill functions.

• Preheating is an important part of proper grilling – preheat to approximately 225 degrees.

• Smoking foods – heat to a temperature range from 225 to 300 degrees.

• Grilling all types of foods – vary temperatures as needed from 225 to

500 degrees.

2. We recommend these temperatures as approximations.

Preheating Instructions

NOTE:

When preheating, set burners on high.

Following preheat, adjust burners to desired temperature setting.

In order for the U- burners and burner box to remain clean, the gas burners and the flame spreaders have to be hot enough to vaporize fats/oils/marinades as they drip upon them.

Without a proper preheat, these materials will collect on both the flame spreader and the burner tubes resulting in partial or total loss of ignition or a decrease in burner performance.

Always light every burner to generate maximum heat output and to assure even heat distribution.

Using only one or two burners can eventually result in a buildup of unwanted material and could affect performance.

NOTE:

In colder climates the infrared burner may have to be used in order to achieve the preheat temperature.

Regardless of what you are barbecuing, use every burner. This assures even heat distribution and also improves grease/fat management.

Using only one or two burners will eventually result in an unwanted buildup of material that might inhibit reliable performance.

After using the barbecue, allow it to continue heating an additional five minutes. This allows materials to move to the grease tray and away from the burner area. This assures clean burners and a healthy ignition system.

Grill Cooking

NOTES:

1. Advanced preparation:

• Bring all food items to be grilled to thawed temperature.

• Check to make sure the drip retrieval tray is in position.

• Preheat the grill with the canopy closed to a minimum of 225 degrees or the applicable cooking temperature for the food you are preparing.

2. Begin the cooking process:

• Once you have achieved the appropriate temperature for your chosen recipe, place the food product on the grill and begin the timing process.

3. After completion of cooking:

• Remove the food to serve and close the canopy for a safer environment.

Smoker Cooking

WARNINGS:

1. Smoker cooking is done with the canopy in the down position. Smoke will be exhausting through the grill vents.

Do not block vents. Blocking vents will damage the unit and may cause fire or injury.

2. Smoker wood chips are soaked with liquids which create steam and smoke while barbecuing. Proceed with caution during cooking. This steam can be very hot and dangerous.

3. Frequently, the smoker box will need to be refilled during cooking. It will be extremely hot. Exercise caution during this process. Steam and hot metal surfaces can cause personal injuries and possible fire.

NOTES:

1. Smoker cooking enhances the flavors of food during grilling or rotisserie cooking.

2. Your Dacor smoker box is a removable accessory that is shipped with your originally purchased grill product.

3. The smoker should be filled with your choice of wood chips.

4. Once you have prepared the wood and smoker box for use, while the grill is still cool, select a direct or indirect cooking location, then place the smoker box appropriately.

5. To place the smoker box correctly

• Determine desired smoker location.

• Remove one small grill and the even heat channel. (The grills and even heat channels may be moved to create a smoker opening anywhere across the full width of the unit, except over the sear burner.)

• Place smoker in the opening.

6. Turn on the burner to maximum (HI) temperature. leave the burner on high until the chips begin smoking. Then turn the heat down where the chips don’t dry out or flame up.

7. Recipes with long time duration will require the addition of wood and liquid to the smoker box. Remember, every additional time you open the grill canopy and smoker box, you will extend your recipe cooking times.

Rotisserie Cooking

WARNING:

This unit is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. Do not allow the rotisserie electrical cord to touch any heated surface of your grill.

CAUTION:

1. Cooking with the rotisserie burner is not recommended during high wind.

2. If any flame is blown out during windy conditions and does not automatically re-ignite within 5 to 7 seconds, turn off the control and attempt a new ignition until you hear the constant clicking stop and you see flame ignition.

NOTES:

1. Rotisserie cooking utilizes the intense searing heat of the infrared burner and constant rotisserie rod rotation to cook many different types of meat.

2. Rotisserie burner operation:

• Rotisserie burner requires no preheating.

• Rotisserie burner can be used in conjunction with grill burners and smoker box.

• Push control knob and rotate 1/4 turn to the left (igniters will spark).

If ignition does not immediately take place, within 4-10 seconds, turn burner knob off, wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting procedure.

3. Rotisserie Motor and Rotisserie Rod

Prepare the grill for rotisserie cooking by following these steps:

• Install the motor mounting bracket and motor by slipping the edge of the bracket down into the slot at the right side edge of the grill frame (as shown below).

Rotisserie Installation

• Plug the motor power cord into 120

Vac grounded receptacle. keep the cord away from all heated surfaces.

• load your menu items on the rotisserie rod.

• Insert one side of the loaded rotisserie rod into the rod drive hole on the side rotisserie motor. Put the other side of the rod on the roller bearings on the left wall .

• Double check all rotisserie forks and locking screws for tightness to assure items will not move during rotation.

• Turn on the motor and observe several rotations to confirm the food is stable, then close the canopy completely and you are cooking.

Side Burners (Select Models Only)

WARNING:

Do not place the burner cover over the burners while hot. Excessive heat contact with the cover may cause permanent discoloration.

NOTES:

1. largest recommended pot for these burners is 14 inches in diameter. larger pots may contact the grill canopy during opening and closing.

2. Automatic re-ignition systems will ignite an extinguished flame.

3. Do not operate the side burner in windy conditions.

4. The porcelain burner grate is durable, however continuous sliding of pots can remove surface material.

5. A stainless steel side burner cover is made to cover the burner grate and burners when not in use.
