What is the DCS 36" Heritage Built-In Grill Cover?

What materials and protective features does it have?
• Constructed from durable **PVC** with **400 denier polyester backing** for strength and weather resistance.
• **UV Level 4** protection to resist fading in sunlight.
• **Anti-Cold-Crack** feature ensures the cover remains flexible and resists cracking in cold conditions down to about –15 °F.
• Built-in **innerflow venting / ventilation panel** to promote airflow and reduce mildew or moisture buildup under the cover.
• Two **stainless steel hanging eyelets** for easy storage or securing when not in use.
What are the dimensions and fitment details?
• Width: approximately 37″
• Height: approximately 47½″
• Depth: approximately 26½″
• It is tailored to fit DCS 36″ built-in grills of the Heritage / Series 7 style.
• The innerflow ventilation is located along the back portion of the cover to help air exchange.
How do I use, install, and maintain this grill cover?
1. Before covering, ensure your grill is completely cooled to avoid trapping heat or damaging the cover.
2. Drape the cover over the grill, aligning it so the front, sides, and back are fully covered.
3. Use the stainless steel eyelets to hang or secure the cover when not in use.
4. Regularly remove the cover to allow the grill to air and to inspect for moisture or debris.
5. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to clean; for more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and water (avoid harsh chemicals).
6. Store the cover dry and folded (using the eyelets or hangers) to preserve shape and integrity.
What are the benefits and what should I watch out for?
Benefits:
• Provides exterior protection against rain, sun, dust, and debris.
• UV Level 4 and anti-cold-crack attributes enhance longevity in varied climates.
• Ventilation helps reduce moisture accumulation and mildew risk.
• Tailored fit for DCS heritage 36″ built-in units ensures good coverage without excessive slack.
Considerations / cautions:
• Always ensure the grill is cool before covering — residual heat might damage the cover.
• Over time, exposure to intense sunlight or repeated weather cycles may degrade the PVC or polyester backing.
• The ventilation system helps, but moisture buildup may still occur in very humid environments — periodic airing is advised.
• The hanging eyelets are convenient, but frequent use may stress the material — inspect for wear.
• If your grill deviates from Heritage / Series 7 dimensions, confirm that this cover fits before purchase (especially depth or height changes).
