Allow sufficient time to cool before touching or cleaning this area. DO NOT position plastic or other heat-sensitive items nearby which could melt or burn.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN

CAUTION

(CONTINUED)

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed with a Hestan vent hood. Hestan vent hoods have been matched up to the BTU output of the range. Due to the high heat output of this range, it is very important that the hood and ductwork installation meets local building codes and is installed by a qualified technician.

Do not use a down-draft style ventilation system. Do not mount a microwave oven/ventilator combination above the range. These types of units do

not have sufficient airflow to remove the high heat output of this range and were not tested with this type of appliance.

Consult the Installation Manual for further details.

CONSULT WITH YOUR HESTAN DEALER ON SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE VENT HOOD FOR YOUR HESTAN APPLIANCE.

IN CASE OF POWER OUTAGE

All the control knobs must be in the OFF position to prevent unintended operation at power up. To ensure customer safety in the event of a power failure, the range will signal an error by blinking the backlights of one or more knobs when the power is restored unless all the knobs are in the OFF position. Set all the knobs to OFF, then resume operation.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE RANGE DURING A PROLONGED POWER FAILURE. Although the top burners can be manually lit, they should be used ONLY WHILE BEING ATTENDED BY THE USER. On low burner settings, if the flame were to go out, a dangerous accumulation of gas could result in an explosion.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN

(CONTINUED)

USER SAFETY

BURN HAZARD - All parts of the range can get very hot during operation, especially the oven door glass and areas surrounding the door. Do not touch the appliance while in operation. Failure to observe these instructions may result in severe burns or injury. Use pot holders / gloves to protect yourself when placing food in the oven, adjusting the racks, etc.

The broil burner is in the top of the oven cavity, and the bake burner is hidden beneath the floor of the oven cavity. These burners may be hot, even though they are not glowing. During or after cooking, allow sufficient time for all surfaces to cool.

Use only dry or heat-resistant pot holders / gloves. Using moist or damp potholders can result in steam burns. Do not substitute dish towels or similar items for potholders. These items could come in contact with hot surfaces and ignite.

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

Open the oven door slowly to allow heat and steam to escape before placing or removing food from the oven. Keep your face away from the opening to avoid injury.

For safety considerations, NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

Do not use the oven as a storage space. The high temperatures could also ignite flammable objects nearby.

NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use aluminum foil to line the surface burners. Doing so may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, step on, lean against, or sit on any part of the appliance, especially the oven door. This may result in damage to the appliance, or personal injury.

FIRE SAFETY

To reduce the risk of a fire, do not leave surface burners unattended at high settings. Boil-overs could smother the flames and igniter, which would allow un-burned gas to escape into the room, which could result in an explosion.

Always turn on the ventilation hood when cooking. Clean vent hood grease filters frequently grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filters.

Use the appropriate pan size for the burner being used. For safety considerations, adjust the flame size so they do not travel up the sides of the pan.

Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. NEVER store flammable liquids and materials in, above, or on the range, or near cooking surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air of the appliance.

ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN

ALWAYS have an appropriate dry-chemical fire extinguisher nearby. Smother fire or flames using the lid of the utensil (pot or pan), a cookie sheet or metal tray. Then shut off the burner. Use an extinguisher, or baking soda if the fire is small and relatively contained. DO NOT USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE. Doing so may result in spreading the fire elsewhere.

NEVER pick up a flaming pan. You may spill the grease on yourself and be severely burned. If accessible, turn off the ventilation hood during a fire, but do not reach through the flames to do

this. In the event of personal clothing or hair catching fire, drop and roll immediately to smother the

flames. Seek medical attention if necessary. Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven door. Some

fabrics are highly flammable and could ignite.

(CONTINUED)

IF THE FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT - EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

SAFETY DURING CLEANING

Only clean the appliance as directed in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section of this manual. Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven or any part of the range. Steam could penetrate into

electrical components and cause a short circuit and/or shock hazard. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard objects such as brushes or scrapers, or sharp metal tools to clean

the door glass. Scratches could cause the glass to shatter.

Do not rub, disturb or damage the cloth-braided door gasket. If the gasket is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

Do not pour cold water onto hot surfaces inside the oven. The steam could cause serious burns. The sudden temperature change could also distort the metal surfaces inside the oven resulting in cracks in the enamel.

Use only a small toothbrush to clean the burner ports and igniter of the surface burners. Do not insert sharp objects or scratch the burner ports.

Wait until the appliance is completely cool before using any aerosol-type cleaners. Many of these cleaners use flammable propellants which could ignite in the presence of heat.

PROPER USAGE

Do not let food sit in the oven for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so may result in food poisoning or illness.

Do not heat unopened containers (cans or jars) in the oven. Pressure may build up causing the container to explode, resulting in damage to the oven or personal injury.

Always place the oven racks at the desired height before cooking. If the racks must be moved when hot, use potholders to move them and use caution to avoid touching any heating elements.

Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for use on the surface burners. 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.

Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc. should not be used on the surface burners. Large griddle plates that span across 2 burners should be used with care and on medium to low flame settings to avoid a build-up of heat which could distort the grates or the burner bowl.

Always position the handles of pot and pans so they do not extend over adjacent work areas or over the edge of the rangetop. This is to avoid knocking over hot contents which could burn you, or result in a fire.

Do not use pots or pans on the griddle (if equipped).

FIRST TIME OPERATION

Ensure there are no packaging materials inside the oven. Remove any labels or plastic film from the outside of the appliance. Before using your oven for the first time, it will be necessary to run a bake cycle to burn off any manufacturing oils and residues from the oven cavity. This may produce a little smoke and some odor. This is normal and is typical of any new oven when first used. If the smell is strong, remove persons and animals from the kitchen during this period. Open any windows to further vent the odor from the room.

Install all the oven racks. Turn on your vent hood, and run the oven on BAKE at 500°F [260°C] for 1-1/2 hours. Allow to cool completely before attempting to cook.

GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR APPLIANCE

BURNER HEADS

If the burner head is not properly positioned, one or more of the following issues may occur:

• Flames too high

• Flames shoot out of the burners

• Burners do not ignite

• Flames are uneven

• Burner emits a gas odor

BURN HAZARD - To prevent burns, do not touch the burner heads or cooking grates when hot. Allow to cool completely. To prevent flare-ups, do not use the burner without all the burner heads in place and properly positioned. Do not use aluminum foil to line the surface burners. Doing so may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

BURNER GRATES

See image for proper placement of the burner grates. There are small round embosses at the front and rear of the burner bowl to help align the grates and keep them in position relative to one-another.

RE-IGNITION

Each sealed burner has its own electronic spark-ignition module with flame-sensing technology and automatic re-ignition capability. If any burner should blow out, the igniter automatically re-lights the burner.

Each burner should light in less than 4 seconds. Once lit, the sparking will stop. On very low simmer, an occasional sparking may occur. This is usually due to a breeze in the room. If an igniter continues to spark even with a flame present, there could be an electrical wiring issue, or some other problem. See the TROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual for more information.

DO NOT touch the burner or the igniters while sparking is occurring. A shock hazard or burns could occur.

MANUAL LIGHTING / POWER FAILURE

THE OVEN AND GRIDDLE CANNOT BE USED DURING A POWER FAILURE. Each sealed burner can be manually lit in the event of a power failure. It is necessary to light each

burner individually. If a power failure occurs WHILE you are using the sealed burners, turn all the knobs to the OFF

position - then light manually with a match or fireplace lighter. Position the match or fireplace lighter at the port nearest the igniter, then turn the knob to HI until

the flame is lit. Wait until the flame has lit all the way around the burner before adjusting the knob to LOW or SIMMER.

IF YOU SMELL GAS, turn all control knobs to OFF - check the precautions listed in the SAFETY section of this manual.

USING THE RANGETOP

(CONTINUED)

FLAME HEIGHT

Proper flame height depends on the size of the pan being used, and the amount of food or liquid in the pan. In other words, don’t use a small pan over a large flame. For safety reasons, control the flame height so that it doesn’t go beyond, or curl up the sides of your pot or pan. This behavior results in poor heating of the contents of the pan, burnt food on the sides of the pan, wasted fuel, etc.

Use a low or medium flame on items that heat slowly, such as glass-ceramic pots.

FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

Light blue flame - Natural gas normal flame Light blue flame with yellow tips - LP gas normal flame Yellow flame - Needs adjustment

If the flame is mostly or completely yellow, check the position of the burner heads again for proper installation, and/or review the FINAL SETUP section of the installation manual for more details.

HOW TO USE YOUR RANGETOP

DUAL FLOW BURNERS The benefit of the dual-flow burner is the amount of control and precision the burners give you,

allowing for the best results possible. Simmer-Low is ideal for heating delicate foods without having the fear of burning, scalding, or boiling

over. Some suggestions include:

• Melting chocolate

• Heating milk or cream

• Melting sugar

• Slow cooking or braising

SINGLE FLOW BURNER (some models) Ideal Uses:

• Searing

• Boiling water

• Large stock pots – will allow for even heat distribution under larger surface areas

• Wok Cooking: We suggest a 14-16 inch [36-41 cm] wok for the best results.

COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS

As previously stated in “PROPER USAGE” on page7, bakeware such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc. should not be used on the surface burners. Large griddle plates that span across 2 burners should be used with care and on medium to low flame settings to avoid a build-up of heat which could distort the grates or the burner bowl.

Large stock pots should be staggered when used on the rangetop (see below). Do not cook on aluminum foil or thin, disposable aluminum pans. These can melt. Never let a pot boil dry. If left too long, the pan could melt, or damage the appliance. Use only high-quality pans with metal handles. Some plastic handles could melt from the intense heat

of the burners.

CAUTION

USING THE RANGETOP

(CONTINUED)

USING THE GRIDDLE

GRIDDLE CONTROL KNOB

The griddle is electronically controlled with a temperature range of 120°F - MAX (approx. 500°F) [49

- 260°C]. Push and turn RIGHT (clockwise) to select the desired temperature for the food you are

cooking.

To avoid injury DO NOT operate the griddle without the griddle plate and grease tray in place. Remove the cover before use.

The griddle is very hot after use. Allow sufficient time to cool down before cleaning. DO NOT use metal utensils (pots, pans, etc.) on the griddle plate surface. Be careful not to gouge or

cause deep scratches in the griddle plate surface. DO NOT cut directly on the griddle plate.

FIRST TIME OPERATION

Before using your griddle for the first time, the griddle plate and the grease tray should be cleaned with warm, soapy water and thoroughly rinsed and dried. When you first heat the plate, a little smoke and some odor may be present as any remaining manufacturing oils are burned off. The stainless-steel plate will discolor from a straw color, to a very dark brown or black, depending on what foods you cook on the surface.

(SOME MODELS)

USING THE GRIDDLE

(CONTINUED)

COOKING ON THE GRIDDLE

When it comes to using the griddle, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• As time goes on and griddle use increases, discoloration of the griddle plate may happen and is normal.

• When emptying the grease tray, be sure to pour the grease into a proper container for grease disposal, not down the drain. Do not scrape with metal utensils.

It will take some practice to get to know how your griddle performs with certain foods. The table below gives a few recommendations on temperatures.

FOOD ITEM GRIDDLE TEMPERATURE EGGS 300 - 325°F [149 - 163°C] PANCAKES, FRENCH TOAST 400 - 425°F [204 - 218°C] HASH BROWN POTATOES (frozen) 475 - 500°F [246 - 260°C] CHICKEN BREAST, (BONELESS) 425 - 450°F [218 - 232°C] BACON, SAUSAGE 450 - 475°F [232 - 246°C] STEAK, 1” (25mm) THICK 450 - 475°F [232 - 246°C] HAMBURGER, 6 oz (170 g) 450 - 475°F [232 - 246°C]

CLEANING THE GRIDDLE

Read the CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE section of this manual for complete instructions. NEVER flood the hot griddle plate with cold water. This can permanently warp the plate. Do not put your griddle plate into the dishwasher, as it will damage your appliance. Wait until the appliance has cooled completely before cleaning.

USING THE OVEN

TIPS AND TRICKS ON HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN

As you begin to use your Hestan Range, it is important to take the time to become familiar with the new settings and the performance of this appliance. Previous ranges may have performed differently than your Hestan – allow some time to adjust.

HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS WHEN COOKING IN THE OVEN

• Many recipes give their own rack suggestions, it is best to follow what is suggested by the recipe.

• After a few times of using your new range, you will become more comfortable with rack placements and temperature settings.

• Avoid opening the oven door while cooking. This will prevent heat from escaping and provide the best results.

• Make sure to preheat the oven to the cooking temperature given in the recipe.

• When baking with more than one rack, stagger the pans and give them at least 2” of space between each pan.

• Remember that different bakeware and pans cook and heat differently.

• Light-colored non-stick pans result in golden crust that is tender.

• Dark-colored non-stick pans result in a more brown, crisp crust.

• Generally, when using any Convection mode, it is suggested to reduce the temperature by 25°F [14°C], though this does not apply to all recipes or meats and poultry.

USING THE OVEN

(CONTINUED)

RACK POSITION / BEFORE BAKING

Rack positions depend on the food items you are baking or roasting. Follow the instructions , or your best experience, on which rack position is best to use for a given recipe.

Not all oven racks need to be kept in the oven. If you find you only need one or two racks most of the time, remove the extra rack and store in a convenient location should it be needed later.

ALWAYS place the oven racks at the desired height before cooking. If the racks must be moved when hot, use potholders to move them and use caution to avoid touching any hot oven parts.

Minimize opening the oven door by using the oven light.

QUICK GUIDE FOR RACK POSITIONS / USES

Choose the rack position(s) that result in the best baking, roasting, etc. for your recipe. Rack position #3 (counting from the bottom-up) is the most popular position (vertical center location).
