CONVERSION KITS

In the event your Hestan appliance needs to be converted from NG to LP, or vice-versa, you will need to contact Hestan Customer Service to arrange a service call. This conversion should only be performed by a qualified technician.

HIGH ALTITUDE KITS

If you live in a high altitude area, 2,000 ft. [610 m] or more above sea level, your appliance may require different orifices for proper combustion and performance. You will need to contact Hestan Customer Service to arrange a service call. High Altitude kits must be installed by a qualified technician. Please have your model and serial number information ready when you call.

BACKGUARD

Your Hestan rangetop is supplied at the factory with an Island Trim backguard. See Table 1 in the APPENDIX section of the Installation Manual for other backguard options available from your Hestan dealer, or visit www.hestanhome.com. Selection of the appropriate backguard depends on the installation location and adjacent materials, and the type of vent hood to be used. Installation instructions are included with the backguard kit. A LOW OR TALL BACKGUARD IS REQUIRED WHEN INSTALLING THE RANGETOP AGAINST A COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE - THE ISLAND TRIM IS NOT SUITABLE.

The top of the backguard serves as an exhaust vent to remove heat from under the rangetop. DO NOT BLOCK or obstruct the top of the backguard.

USER SAFETY

BURN HAZARD - All parts of the rangetop can get very hot during operation. 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 moving hot pots & pans.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN

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.

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 appliance.

Aluminum foil linings may 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. This may result in damage to the appliance, or personal injury.

(CONTINUED)

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 rangetop, 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. 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 front of the

appliance. Some fabrics are highly flammable and could ignite.

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 on any part of the rangetop. 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Do not pour cold water onto hot surfaces of the appliance. The steam could cause serious burns. The sudden temperature change could also distort the metal surfaces resulting in permanent damage.

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.

(CONTINUED)

PROPER USAGE

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

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 pots 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

When using your rangetop for the first time, any manufacturing oils and residues on the grates will be burned off. This may produce a little smoke and some odor. This is normal and is typical of any new appliance 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.

Ensure there are no packaging materials remaining. Remove any labels or plastic film from the outside of the appliance. Install all the cooking grates and griddle plate (if equipped).

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.

GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR APPLIANCE

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.

GRIDDLE PLATE

(GD models)

See image for proper placement of the Griddle Plate and Grease Tray. You can check for proper incline of the plate by pouring a small amount of water on the plate to watch it slowly roll toward the grease tray at the front. If adjustment is needed, lift the plate and adjust the 2 rear screws beneath. Begin with 1/2-turn CCW rotations until you achieve the desired result.

The plate is made of stainlesssteel and requires no seasoning. The grease tray has a non-stick coating for easy cleaning.
