Below are representations of Hestan Outdoor Living Suites covered in this manual.

LOCATING THE SUITE

When determining a suitable location for your suite, 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 grill only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. Never locate the grill over, under, or next to unprotected combustible construction.

During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and smoke. The grill is designed to take in cool air at the front control panel area, and send the combustion products and smoke out the exhaust gap at the rear of the hood. It is important to maintain this flow at all times. Using the grill in windy areas can disrupt this proper flow and cause damage to your grill, or result in burn hazards to the user. See Fig. 1 for details.

Figure 1

The Hestan Outdoor Living suite features ventilation openings (louvers) on each end. These openings must be clear to avoid accumulation of gas should there be a leak. These openings are further described later in this manual.

CURB INSTALLATION

1. The Hestan Outdoor Living Suite must be located on a level concrete or masonry patio surface, not on direct soil. A licensed plumber and electrician should run their service lines to the suite area prior to installation of the curb, in accordance with local codes. See dimensions below for recommended location. See ELECTRICAL ITEMS section of this manual for details. The gas line to the suite will require a shut-off that is easily accessible. Local codes may also require a tracer wire be buried alongside the gas line for underground detection. See the GAS CONNECTIONS section of this manual, and the appliance manual(s) for more details.

CURB INSTALLATION

2. The curb should be as level as possible and permanently anchored to the patio surface using stainless steel masonry anchors & bolts (not included). If you choose not to permanently anchor your suite, be sure you have moved it to its final location. Also be aware that the suites featuring a bar are prone to tipping over unless the curb is anchored to the floor surface. The Outdoor Living Suite is very heavy and difficult to move once assembly is complete and all equipment has been installed. (8 foot Outdoor Living Suite curb shown)

BACK AND SUPPORT WALL ASSEMBLY

3. Use 2 each 3/8-16 x 5/8” long hex bolts to align and attach the back wall to the curb. Be careful the back wall does not tip over if the curb was not anchored down. Tighten all bolts.

BACK AND SUPPORT WALL ASSEMBLY

4. Attach support wall #1 to curb assembly and back wall as shown using 6 each 1/4-20 x 1/2” hex bolts and hex nuts where needed. Do not fully tighten bolts yet. Route the main electrical box as described below and attach using 2 each 1/4” hex nuts.

5. Install remaining support walls as you did in step 4. Each wall is numbered and has a corresponding number on the curb and/or rear wall for ease of locating. (8 foot Outdoor Living Suite shown) Do not fully tighten bolts yet.

INSTALL CORNER ASSEMBLY

6. Install corner assembly brackets as shown using 1/4-20 x 1/2” long hex bolts and hex nuts where needed. For suites with Bar Top, install 4 brackets on each side.

7. Install 2 corner assemblies (4 assemblies for suites with Bar Top). Use 1/4-20 x 1/2” long hex bolts and hex nuts where needed. Do not tighten until lift-off panels have been checked for proper t (see Step 13).

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

The Hestan Outdoor Living Suite is completely pre-wired for ease of installation. The suite will require a 20 amp supply (breaker) from the house main electrical panel. The licensed electrician will have to run the appropriate wire size and conduit for this application. Rigid or flexible conduit suitable for burial with water-tight connections are highly recommended from the house main electrical panel, to the suite.

Important: The appliance(s) must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes with the National Electrical Code,

Appliances (grill, side burner, refrigerators, etc. ) are equipped with a flexible electrical supply cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected to a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from this plug.

The appliances are designed for 120 volt AC power and must be plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit. For gas-burning appliances, do not connect to the electrical supply until after gas connections have been made and leak checks have been performed.

KEEP ANY ELECTRICAL CORDS AND FUEL SUPPLY HOSES AWAY FROM ANY HEATED SURFACES.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord or plugs in water or other liquid.

ANSI/NFPA 70-1990

• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

• Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for purposes other than intended.

• Use only a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas appliance.

• Never remove the grounding prong or use with a 2-prong ground adapter.

• Use only extension cords with a 3-prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the equipment, and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking.

ELECTRICAL BOXES & CONDUIT

8. As mentioned in Step 1, a licensed electrician must run the electrical supply lines from the house main electrical panel (20 amp breaker), to the recommended area below the curb base. This supply is brought into the main electrical box as shown in the photo on the next page. The flex conduits coming out of this box are labeled “A” or “B”. The electrician will make up the final connections as shown in the diagrams on the following pages.

This main electrical box contains a GFCI outlet, which protects all the “B” outlets. The “A” circuit

runs to the weather-proof GFCI outlet located on the right side of the Suite, or to the outlets at the bar (for those models featuring a raised bar). Should the GFCI trip due to a fault at the Grill, Side Burner, or Refrigerator (“B” outlets), it must be reset, and the other “A” outlets will not be affected. Similarly, the “A” GFCI will not affect the “B” outlets if it trips due to a fault.
