What are its materials and protective features?
• Made from PVC with **400 denier polyester backing** for strength and weather resistance.
• Rated **UV Level 4** to reduce fading when exposed to sunlight.
• **Anti-Cold-Crack** formulation keeps it flexible in colder climates (down to about –15 °F)
• Has a built-in **InnerFlow ventilation section** (usually located on the back) to help reduce moisture, mildew, and condensation accumulation.
• Stainless steel **hanging eyelets** for convenient storage when not in use.
What are the dimensions and fitment details?
• Width: ~ 37″
• Height: ~ 47 ½″
• Depth: ~ 26 ½″
• The cover is specifically tailored for DCS 30″ built-in grills (including grills, griddles, and grill/griddle & side burner combos made in 2015 or later)
How do I use, install, and maintain this cover?
1. Ensure the grill is **completely cooled** before placing the cover on to avoid heat damage.
2. Slide or drape the cover over the grill, aligning edges so front, sides, and back are fully protected.
3. Use the stainless eyelets to **hang or secure** the cover when not in use.
4. Lift periodically to let moisture escape and check for condensation or debris.
5. Clean with a damp cloth or mild soap & water; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.
6. Store dry, either hanging by eyelets or neatly folded, to preserve shape and material integrity.
What are the advantages and what should I watch out for?
Advantages:
• Provides strong protection against weather, dust, and UV damage.
• Ventilation helps reduce moisture and mildew under the cover.
• Tailored fit reduces flapping and improves aesthetics.
Considerations / cautions:
• Always cover only when the grill is cool — residual heat may harm the cover.
• Long exposure to sun, wind, and weather cycles may degrade fabric or reduce performance over time.
• Even with vents, moisture or condensation can still accumulate — periodic airing is wise.
• Be sure your grill’s dimensions match the cover’s intended size (especially depth or accessory configurations) to avoid tight fits or gaps.
