PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL

When properly cared for, your Hestan grill will provide safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must be used since the grill 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 GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.

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

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

4. Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area, oceanfront, mountaintop, etc., a Wind Screen will be required (available from Hestan). Always adhere to the specified clearances as described in the INSTALLATION section of this manual.

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

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

7. If the grill 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.

PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL

8. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi / valve section carefully.

Always turn off gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.

(continued)

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, open the hood and wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-light. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.

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 grill is in operation or is hot.

11. Inspect LP gas supply hose prior to each use of the grill. The hose must be kept away from

heated areas of the grill. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced before using the grill. 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 grill. 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 grill,

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

14. Keep the areas surrounding the grill 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 (rear) and ventilation airways (front).

15. If your grill is mounted on a cart, keep the rear area free and clear of debris, extra LP

cylinders, etc. Do not block the ventilation louvers of the cart.

16. If your grill is mounted on a cart and stored indoors, ensure that it is cool before moving.

If propane is used, the LP cylinder must be disconnected and stored OUTSIDE in a wellventilated area, out of the reach of children. A grill cover is recommended, even when stored indoors.

17. Never move the grill when hot. When in use, portions of the grill are hot enough to cause

severe burns.

18. Always have an “ABC” type fire extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease

fire with water or other liquids.

19. Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while grilling. They could ignite.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel while grilling. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while grilling.

20. Never let pot holders, grill 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 or warming racks.

PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL

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

22. Protect your hand when opening a hot grill hood. Use an insulated glove or mitt when operating the grill. Always open the hood slowly to allow heat and smoke to escape before fully opening. Keep your face and body as far away as possible when opening the hood. Never lean over an open hot grill.

23. The grill hood must be fully opened while lighting the grill. Opening the gas valves on a closed grill before lighting will not make it light sooner or more efficiently. It will only risk explosion and personal injury, or death. Never lean over a hot grill surface, or look directly into the grill when attempting to light. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.

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

25. Do not use aluminum foil to line cooking grates or the drip tray. This will alter the airflow to the grill 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.

26. Never grill without the drip tray in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Without the drip tray, hot grease can leak downward creating a fire or explosion hazard.

(continued)

27. Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle or dispose of it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the grill by cleaning the drip tray often. Never clean while the grill is on, or hot from recent use.

28. Grilling excessively fatty meats and oils will cause flare-ups. Internal fires or damage caused by them or by the grill being left unattended, are not covered under the terms and conditions of our warranty.

29. Never use charcoal, pellets, wood, or any other solid fuel in the grill. Wood chips for smoking are to be used with the smoker accessory only. See the SMOKER section of this manual.

30. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill 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.

31. Do not lean on side shelves or place a load of more than 25 lbs [11.3 kg] on a side shelf.

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

33. 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.

34. Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns - do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite when applied to a hot surface. Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. 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 grill 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. [9.1 kg] liquid propane (LP) gas cylinder - 12.25” diam. X 18.25” H [31 cm X 47 cm] 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 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 GRILL

When determining a suitable location for your grill, 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, garage, 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. For installations which consistenly receive wind at the rear of the grill, a Wind Screen accessory is available from Hestan. See Fig. 1 for details.

Figure 1

When installing a grill 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.

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

Your Hestan grill has provision for mounting onto a mobile cart if you choose to do so. Contact your Hestan dealer for the appropriate cart for your grill. If your grill is mounted on a cart, engage the brakes on the casters to prevent movement of the cart.

LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE GRILL

Ensure that the burners are positioned correctly on their orifices, and are fully seated onto their rear hanger brackets (see Fig. 2). The burners should not move side-to-side or front-to-back if properly seated.

(continued)

Figure 2

Above each Trellis Burner briquettes. Position the radiant trays onto the lower ledge of the burner box in the grill, and then install the cooking grates on the upper ledge (see Fig. 3). The burners and radiant trays work together to create a very even heat, front-to-back, left-to-right. The radiant trays also serve to minimize flare-ups, and prevent blockages of the burner ports from falling grease and debris. The radiant trays and Trellis Burners must be used together and are integral to the performance of the grill. Do not cook on the grill without them.

Note: Infrared Sear Burners do not require the radiant trays. NEVER place a radiant tray over a Sear Burner.

INSTALLATION

CLEARANCES:

TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION A minimum of 4” [10 cm] clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is

required to allow the hood to be opened fully.

TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION This appliance should NOT be installed over, under or next to unprotected combustible

construction. If your enclosure (island) is combustible, then an insulated jacket manufactured by Hestan, is required. See INSULATED JACKET dimensions below to make allowances in your enclosure for this item. A minimum clearance to vertical combustible material, such as adjacent walls, is 12” [30 cm] on the sides and the rear of the appliance.

The minimum vertical clearance 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 beneath, or wood-frame walls adjacent or behind, the wood is considered combustible, even though the grill is touching the stucco or tiled surface, which is non-combustible. In extreme circumstances, the wood could potentially get hot enough to burn.

VENTILATION OPENINGS A minimum of two ventilation openings totalling 30 in² [194 cm²] must be provided for your

enclosure (island). Three openings are preferred at left and right sides, as well as the back. These openings are required to safely dissipate gas vapors if there is a leak in your enclosure. The ventilation openings should be a 1-2” [3-5 cm] off the floor.

SUPPLEMENTARY VENTILATION

In certain installations, such as an island up against a house or other structure, or perhaps a short roof overhang above your grill; a “range-hood” style ventilation unit may be desirable to direct smoke and grease away from those structures. In these cases, Hestan recommends you consult with your outdoor kitchen designer/contractor for more information on choosing the appropriate ventilation solution.

GAS 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 GRILL 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

CONVERSION KITS

Gas conversion kits are available from your Hestan dealer should you need to convert an LP unit to NG, or vice-versa.

HIGH ALTITUDE KITS

If you live in a high altitude area, 2,000 ft. [610 m] or more above sea level, your grill will require different orifices for proper combustion and performance. High altitude kits are available through Hestan Customer Service. Please have your model and serial number information ready when you call.

DELUXE CART / GAS CONNECTION TO A STATIONARY SUPPLY

The Hestan Deluxe grill with LP gas is supplied with a two-stage regulator/hose assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP portable gas cylinder, which locates inside the large pull-out drawer in the cart base. Take care to point the regulator & hose to the right of the drawer as shown in the image below. This is necessary to avoid kinking or otherwise damaging the hose when pushing the drawer back in.

Natural Gas (NG) units, or propane (LP) units connected to a stationary gas supply outside the grill must be connected using a 10 ft. approved gas hose. This hose is supplied with NG units, or may be purchased as an accessory for LP units.

When routing the hose behind your grill, be careful not to roll over the hose, or place it in an area of high foot traffic which could create a tripping hazard. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose. Periodically check the hose for scratches, nicks, brittleness, cracking, which could all lead to a gas leak. Check for gas leaks if you ever smell gas (see LEAK TESTING on pg. 19). As an added safety measure, shut off the gas supply after each grill use. Do not push excess hose length back into the rear access hole of the grill cart. There is not enough room inside the unit and the hose would get kinked or damaged by the opening/closing of the large drawer.

These same safety measures apply to Hestan grills mounted on a traditional Tower cart.

GAS CONNECTIONS

(continued)

GAS CONNECTION - NATURAL GAS (NG)

NOTE: To ensure proper heating performance of this appliance, verify that the gas line supply pressure is adequate. Use only the gas pressure regulator supplied with this appliance. This regulator is set for a supply (inlet) pressure of 7-14 inch WC [1.74-3.48 kPa] to maintain 4 inch WC [1.00 kPa] nominal outlet (manifold) pressure. Use a minimum 1/2” ID flex hose to prevent gas starvation. Ensure that the service pipe supplying the side burner is fitted with a shut-off valve conveniently positioned and easily accessible as an emergency gas shut-off.

LEAK TESTING

GENERAL Although all gas connections on your Hestan grill are leak tested at the factory prior to

shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible movement in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to parts of the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING

• Do not smoke while leak testing.

• Never leak test with an open flame.

• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.

• Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle or a brush.

• For LP units, always check with a full LP cylinder.

TO TEST

• Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.

• Apply the soap solution described above to all fittings.

• Turn the gas supply on.

• Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold

pipe assembly.

• Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas

supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas supply back on, and recheck.

• If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call the dealer where you purchased

your grill.

• Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak. IMPORTANT NOTE - ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP CYLINDER CHANGE.

If a leak is present, or if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced before using the grill. 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.

Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.

BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

Hestan grills feature the unique Trellis Burner™, and infrared Rotisserie and Sear Burners. The following instructions apply only to the Trellis Burner.

TRELLIS BURNER™ FLAME ADJUSTMENT Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment. The proper orifice for

the gas type, and the air-fuel (air shutter) adjustment was made at this time. However, variations in the local gas supply, the elevation where you live, converting from one gas type to another, and other factors might make it necessary to adjust the burner flames.

The flames of the burners should be visually checked and compared with the figures below.

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips (LP units will have some yellow tipping). There should be no excessive noise or flame lifting. If any of these conditions exist, remove the burners and check if dirt, debris, spider webs, etc., are blocking the air shutter or burner ports. Proceed with air shutter adjustment if necessary.

GAS CONNECTIONS

BURNER REMOVAL BEFORE AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT

(continued)

Open your grill and remove the grates, radiant trays, and burners from the firebox area. Trellis burners are removed by lifting up the rear of the burner, and carefully twisting to clear the igniter shroud. Sear burners have a small metal cover over the igniter which must be removed first. There is also a screw at the rear firebox wall which must be removed. The sear burner can then be carefully removed using the same twisting action to avoid breaking the ceramic igniter.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT

Remove the control panel to gain access to the orifice area and air shutters on the burners. A metal cap at the inlet of the burner called the “AIR SHUTTER” regulates the amount of air that enters into the burner for combustion (see Fig. 4). The air shutter has a lock screw which must be loosened prior to adjustment. Remove the burner carefully from the grill. With a marker pen, mark the current location of the shutter opening, then loosen the screw of the air shutter. Reinstall the burner. Make certain that the burners are sitting properly on the orifices taking care not to move or damage the igniter electrodes. Reinstall the radiant trays.

Figure 4

Light the burner and adjust as follows:

• Turn the valve on “HIGH”, light the burner and allow it to warm up for 10 minutes. Be careful because the burner will be hot from this point forward.

• If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to allow more air to the burner.

• If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner ports, indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise to reduce the amount of air to the burner.

• Once you have established a good flame, make a new mark with the marker pen.

• Remove the burner again and retighten the lock screw of the air shutter taking note of your newly marked position.

• Repeat this process for each burner.

• Perform one last check that all burners are properly seated on their orifices and rear hanger bracket.

• Reinstall all radiant trays and cooking grates.

• Reinstall the control panel and control knobs.

VALVE ADJUSTMENTS

The valves on your Hestan grill are preset at the factory for optimum performance. However, the low setting on these valves are adjustable if altitude, low-heat performance, converting from one gas to another, or other factors indicate an adjustment is needed. It is not recommended to adjust the Rotisserie or Sear Burner valves.

NEVER ADJUST THE BURNER SO LOW THAT IT MAY GO OUT DURING USE. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL WITH THE LOW HEAT SCREW REMOVED. GAS CAN ESCAPE AND CAUSE A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

ADJUSTMENT STEPS:

1. Remove the control knobs, drip tray, and control panel from the unit.

2. Follow lighting instructions by setting the control knob on “HI” and allow the burner to

preheat for 10 minutes.

3. Turn the control knob to “LOW” and wait for the burner temperature to drop and stabilize,

about 10 minutes. Attempting adjustment at any setting other than LOW can create a dangerous condition.

4. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem to begin the adjustment

(see Fig. 5). The screw only has 2-3 complete revolutions of adjustment. After this, the screw may continue to turn, but is actually coming out of the valve and could result in a gas leak. DO NOT turn more that 3 revolutions!

5. Turn counter-clockwise very slowly to INCREASE the low flame. The flame will take a few

seconds to respond to the adjustments you are making.

6. Adjust the flame so the burner is still fully lit on all ports, without fluttering or going out.

Turn off the burner and re-light. Check the new low setting once again to assure proper adjustment is reached. Reattach the control knob.

INFRARED BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT

Infrared burners do not require adjustment and need only be checked visually for proper performance. On HIGH, an infrared burner should glow red evenly over its entire surface. A diminished red glow and/or a large blue “halo” of flame on the surface of the infrared burner indicates improper airflow or a blockage at the burner itself. Call for service.

SIDE BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT

Hestan side burners are preset at the factory for optimum performance. However, these valves also feature a low flame (simmer) adjustment if altitude, low-heat performance, converting from one gas to another, or other factors indicate an adjustment is needed. Follow the same procedure as described above for Trellis Burner

™

valve adjustment.

NEVER ADJUST THE SIDE BURNER SO LOW THAT IT MAY GO OUT DURING USE.

ELECTRICAL BOX

IMPORTANT - READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Some parts have sharp edges. Care must be taken when handling the various components to avoid personal injury. Wear gloves when handling.

1. If you are installing your grill in a cart, please consult the instruction manual that came with

your cart. If you are installing your grill in an enclosure (see image below), you should locate the electrical box on the inside rear wall below the grill, or in a convenient location to access the box for service, or to replace a fuse. Leave some slack in the cables between the grill and box so as not to stretch the wires and make disconnection easier for service.

2. The electrical box has 2 mounting holes on either side to attach to a wall or other structure

(mounting hardware not included). The box should be approx. 8” [20cm] above the ground to avoid water intrusion under your island. See the INSTALLATION section of this manual for details.

3. Once mounted, connect the white connectors from your grill to the appropriate receptacles

on top of the electrical box. The grill is designed for 120 volt AC power and must be plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit. Do not connect the grill to the electrical supply until after gas connections have been made and leak checks have been performed.
