PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR SIDE BURNER

When properly cared for, your Aspire side burner will provide safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must be used since the side burner produces intense heat, which can cause serious injury or even death if the instructions are not followed carefully. When using this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed as outlined below.

1. NEVER LEAVE THE SIDE BURNER UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.

2. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the side burner is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand, or play on or around the side burner. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the side burner.

3. Never operate the side burner while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

4. Never use the side burner in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area, oceanfront, mountaintop, etc., a windbreak will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances as described in the INSTALLATION section of this manual.

5. The side burner shall be used only outdoors and shall not be used in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways, or any enclosed areas. Do not operate the side burner under unprotected, combustible construction. Use only in well-ventilated areas. See the INSTALLATION section of this manual.

6. Do not use the side burner unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. See the GAS CONNECTIONS section of this manual.

7. If the side burner is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that they show you where your gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is easily accessible. If you smell gas, check for leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. Never check gas leaks with an open flame. See the GAS CONNECTIONS section of this manual.

8. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, and venturi / valve section carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.

9. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are turning the correct knob labeled for the burner you intend to use. If any burner does not light, or goes out during operation, turn off all gas control knobs, and wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.

PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR SIDE BURNER

10. Portable LP cylinders - Always shut off the main valve on the liquid propane (LP) cylinder after each use. Never use a dented or rusted LP cylinder. Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the side burner is in operation or is hot.

11. Inspect LP gas supply hose prior to each use of the side burner. The hose must be kept away from heated areas of the side burner. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced before using the side burner. The hose and LP regulator are supplied as a complete assembly and must be replaced together. Do not attempt to repair or replace the hose itself. Contact your Hestan dealer for genuine replacement P/N 014309.

12. Keep any electrical supply cord away from the heated areas of the side burner. The cord is provided with a 3-prong grounding plug which should not be removed or altered. Do not use this appliance with an ungrounded, 2-prong adapter. The cord must be plugged into a properly grounded GFCI-protected outlet. See INSTALLATION section of this manual.

13. Spiders and insects like to nest in the burners, venturis, valves, and orifices of a side burner, disrupting the gas flow in the burner. This very dangerous condition can cause a fire behind the control panel, damaging the side burner and risking personal injury. If your side burner has been unused for a long time, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves, and orifices. It is recommended you inspect your side burner at least twice a year. See BURNER ADJUSTMENT section of this manual for details.

14. Keep the areas surrounding the side burner free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion gases and ventilation airways (front).

(continued)

15. Never move the side burner when hot. When in use, portions of the side burner are hot enough to cause severe burns.

16. Always have an “ABC” type fire extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids.

17. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while cooking with the side burner. They could ignite. For personal safety, wear proper apparel while cooking. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

18. Never let pot holders, covers, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any cooking grate, burner, or hot surface until it has cooled down sufficiently. Fabrics may ignite and result in personal injury. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the cooking grates.

19. Never touch the cooking grates or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while cooking with the side burner, as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only the handles and knobs provided for operation of the side burner.

20. Protect your hands with an insulated glove or mitt when operating the side burner. Always keep your face away and open lids slowly on pots and pans to allow heat and steam to escape before fully opening. Never lean over an open hot side burner.

21. The side burner metal cover must be removed while lighting. Leaving the cover in place while lighting can result in an explosion and personal injury, or death. Never lean over a side burner or look directly into the burner when attempting to light. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.

22. Do not heat unopened food containers (cans) as pressure build-up will cause the container to explode.

23. Do not use aluminum foil to line the burner bowl. This will alter the airflow to the burner or trap excessive heat in the control area. This can melt control knobs, wiring, or igniters, and increase the risk of personal injury. Such damage is specifically excluded from our warranty.

PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR SIDE BURNER

24. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle or dispose of it. Avoid letting excessive grease deposits collect by cleaning the burner bowl often. Never clean while the side burner is on, or hot from recent use.

25. Cooking excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare-ups or grease fires. Damage caused by them or by the side burner being left unattended, are not covered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.

26. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for side burner use. However, these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings, and according to their manufacturers’ directions.

27. Do not repair or replace any part of the side burner unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other warranty and non-warranty service should be referred to and performed by a qualified technician.

28. For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them periodically for optimum performance. The burners will operate only in one position and must be mounted correctly for safe operation. See BURNER ADJUSTMENT section of this manual.

29. Clean the side burner with caution. Avoid steam burns - do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the side burner while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite when applied to a hot surface. Be sure all side burner controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Clean and perform general maintenance on the side burner twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks, or insect activity. See the CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

PORTABLE LP GAS CYLINDERS

Use only a standard 20 lb. (9.1kg) liquid propane (LP) gas cylinder - 12.25” diam. X 18.25” H (31cm X 47cm) which features an Overfill Protection Device. The cylinder must be installed in the upright position. Do not use a dented or rusty LP cylinder as it may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Never move or alter the gas fittings. Check the expiration date on the cylinder collar as well. Do not refill an expired cylinder, it must be replaced. If you buy refilled (exchange) LP cylinders, check this date as well.

The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The cylinder must be provided with a shut off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connections ANSI/CGA-V-I.

Certain liquid propane dealers may fill LP cylinders for use in the grill / side burner beyond cylinder filling capacity. This “overfilling” may create a dangerous condition due to a build-up of excess pressure. As a safety device, there is a pressure relief valve which will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:

1. When you have your cylinder filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 80% of its total capacity.

2. If you own or use a spare cylinder, you should NEVER store it near or under the grill/cart unit or burner box, or near any other ignition or heat source (like a water heater or furnace).

IF THE INFORMATION IN 1 AND 2 ABOVE IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.

3. The LP cylinder must be disconnected and stored OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area, out of the reach of children.

4. Do not store a full cylinder in direct sunlight.

LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE SIDE BURNER

When determining a suitable location for your side burner, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, rain, sprinklers, proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas supply line runs as short as possible.

Locate the side burner only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the side burner in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. Never locate the side burner over, under, or next to unprotected combustible construction.

Using the side burner in windy areas can disrupt the flame, especially on low or simmer settings. This may cause nuisance sparking of the igniter. Relocate to a less windy area. If the side burner is mounted in an enclosure (island), you may need to build a wind-break to avoid this issue in the future.

When installing a side burner or other gas appliance into an enclosure (island), the enclosure must be constructed with ventilation openings to avoid accumulation of gas should there be a leak. See the INSTALLATION section of this manual for details. Keep the area underneath the side burner free of debris.

Ensure all packaging, straps, etc. have been removed from the side burner. Remove any tie-down wires from the burners.

Keep the area underneath the side burner free of debris.

BURNER CAP

Ensure that the burner cap is mounted correctly on the burner ring. Do not operate the side burner without the burner cap in place (see Fig. 1).

CLEARANCES - NON-COMBUSTIBLE:

TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE A minimum of 4” (10 cm) clearance from the rear of the appliance to non-combustible construction is

required. See diagrams on the following pages.

TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION BELOW THE COOKING SURFACE The appliance may installed directly on non-combustible construction. See diagrams on the following

pages.

CLEARANCES - COMBUSTIBLE:

TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE A minimum of 12” (30 cm) clearance on the sides and the rear of the appliance to combustible construction

is required. Read warning below. See diagrams on the following pages.

TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION BELOW THE COOKING SURFACE The appliance may installed directly on combustible construction. See diagrams on the following pages.

The minimum clearances to combustible materials means that ALL combustible materials must be outside this 12” (30 cm) zone. As an example, if you have an island with a stucco or tiled surface and wood-frame construction, the wood is considered combustible, even though the side burner is touching the stucco or tile surface, which is non-combustible. In extreme circumstances, the wood could potentially get hot

GAS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

GAS SUPPLY

The local gas authority or supplier should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order to establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas (NG or LP). If it is a new installation, have the gas authorities or supplier check the meter size and piping to assure that the unit is supplied with the necessary amount of gas supply and pressure to operate the unit(s).

Gas connections should be made by a qualified plumber, or your professional outdoor appliance installer.

All fixed (non-mobile) appliances must be fitted with an accessible upstream gas shutoff valve as a means of isolating the appliance for emergency shut off and for servicing.

Make certain new piping and connections have been made in a clean manner and have been purged so that piping compound, chips, etc. will not clog regulators, valves, orifices, or burners. Use pipe joint compound / thread sealant approved for natural and LP gases.

NEVER CONNECT THE SIDE BURNER TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY. Before proceeding, ensure the appliance is fitted for Natural or Liquid Propane gas. Connecting to an improper gas type will result in poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury. Gas type and gas consumption (BTU per hour) for each burner type is located on inner right wall of the unit, behind the control panel.

Installation of this cooking appliance must be made in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Natural Gas and Propane Installation code
