GRILLING IS A PERFECTIONIST’S PURSUIT.

RATING LABEL

The rating label contains important information about your Hestan appliance such as the model and

serial number, gas type and manifold pressure, the BTU rating for each burner type, and the minimum

installation clearances.

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, or any other

enclosed areas. Do not operate the grill under 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 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, air shutter, 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, 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

Hestan Grill rating

label is located on

the underside of the

drip pan.

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 and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces. 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 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY 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. Storage

of an outdoor appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed

from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored OUTDOORS in a well-ventilated area, out of the

reach of children, and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. 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.

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.

PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL

(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.

35. The grill may be used in the rain. However, the drip tray should be checked prior/during use and

emptied as necessary, to prevent overflowing.

36. Multiple Griddle Plate (AGGP) or Charcoal Tray (AGTC) accessories cannot be used at the same

time, only 1 at a time. This can damage the grill.

is known to the State of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. For

more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL

(continued)

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), or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres

and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission CAN/CSA-B339. 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. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

Alternative 20 lb. cylinders may be acceptable for use with the appliance provided they are

compatible with the tank retention means as shown on page 20 of this manual.

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:

Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance. You should NEVER store a

spare LP cylinder near or under the grill/cart unit or burner box, or near any other ignition or heat

source (like a water heater or furnace).

2. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.

IF THE INFORMATION IN

AND

ABOVE IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE CAUSING

DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.

3. If the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder. Storage of an

outdoor appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from

the appliance. Cylinders must be stored OUTDOORS in a well-ventilated area, out of the reach

of children, and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

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

5. Turn off the LP supply at the cylinder when the appliance is not in use.

LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE GRILL

LOCATIONLOCATION

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, or

other enclosed areas. Never use the grill under overhead combustible construction. See the

INSTALLATION sections on the following pages for more info.

AIRFLOW / WINDY AREASAIRFLOW / WINDY AREAS

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 the proper flow and cause damage to your grill, or result

in burn hazards to the user. Initial indications of this situation are very hot control knobs. If this

happens, use an oven mitt or other protection, and while keeping your face away, immediately open

the hood to release the built up heat inside the grill. Turn down the burners to a lower setting. If

you have a free-standing grill on a cart, re-orient the grill so the prevailing wind is toward the front of

the grill as seen below in Fig. 1.

For built-in grill installations which consistently receive wind at the rear of the grill, a Wind Screen

accessory is available from Hestan. Contact your Hestan dealer for details.

Damage caused from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs and/Damage caused from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs and/

or wiring, discoloration of the control panel, etc., is excluded from or wiring, discoloration of the control panel, etc., is excluded from

warranty coverage.warranty coverage.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

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 sections on the following pages for more details.

Ensure all packaging, straps, etc. have been removed from the grill. During installation, the plastic

film on metal surfaces may remain on the appliance for protection from scratches, but must be

removed before using 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.

seated.

Above each Trellis Burner

™

is a stainless steel radiant tray containing specially shaped ceramic

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

Burner.

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 (BTU per hour) for each burner type is

shown on the rating label affixed to the underside of the drip tray.

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.

Z223.1/ NFPA 54

, Natural

Gas and Propane Installation code

CSA B149.1

, or Propane Storage and Handling Code B149.2.

NOTE:NOTE: See rating label for manifold pressure for the type of gas of your appliance.

CONVERSION KITS - Gas conversion kits are available from your Hestan dealer should you need to convert

an LP unit to NG, or vice-versa.

FREE-STANDING GRILL CONNECTION TO A STATIONARY SUPPLY

Natural Gas (NG) units, or propane (LP) units mounted on a cart and connected to a stationary gas supply

outside the grill must be connected using a 10 ft. [3 m] approved gas hose. This hose may be purchased as an

accessory.

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 page 20). 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 cart movement.

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. Additionally, see below for kit

numbers pertaining to your particular grill when ordering.

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 BURNERTRELLIS BURNER

™™

FLAME ADJUSTMENT 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.

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.

Light the burner and adjust as follows: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 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 counter-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.

BURNER REMOVAL BEFORE

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT

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.

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.

GAS CONNECTIONS

(continued)

Figure 5

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

(IF EQUIPPED)

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, or consult the Side Burner manual.

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

If your grill is equipped with a Hestan Side Burner, it features a spark-ignition system with flame-

sensing technology which will relight the flame should it go out.

All burners can be manually lit should that become necessary.

CONTROL KNOB LAYOUT

Seen here is a typical layout (36” model shown, Fig. 6) for the control knobs. The rotisserie control

is always to the far left side. Control panel LED lights and rotisserie motor switches are on the far

right.

The lighting instructions for all burners are visible when you pull out the drip tray.

6. If burner fails to light, see the side burner Use & Care Manual for match lighting instructions.

Note:Note: The flame-sensing technology of the spark igniter will repeatedly spark (clicking sound) until a

flame is established. If you experience nuisance sparking during normal operation of the burner, see

the TROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual. A very low flame in windy conditions is usually

the cause of this nuisance sparking.

MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

If a burner will not light after several attempts, it can be lit with a match. Open the hood and allow

5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate from the grill. Use a long-stem fireplace match, or

attach a short match to the match lighting clip provided with your Hestan Grill

(see below Fig. 7).

Figure 7

When attempting to light a burner with a match, be sure you selected the correct control knob for

that burner. Keep your face away as far as possible, and pass the lit match through the openings of

the cooking grates and radiant trays and position near the burner ports. Push and turn the control

knob to “HIGH” until the burner lights. Repeat this procedure for each burner if necessary. If the

burner does not light in 5 seconds, turn the control knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying

again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, see the TROUBLESHOOTING section of

this manual. Side burners can be lit in the same manner, although a long match may not be needed.

In sunny locations, infrared Rotisserie and Sear Burners may be difficult to see if they are lit. After

attempting to light, you can very carefully wave your hand 8-10 inches [20-25 cm] away from the

burner surface to feel the heat of the burner. If there is no heat, OR IF YOU SMELL GAS, shut off

the control knob and wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

USING YOUR GRILL

Your Hestan Grill is a powerful and versatile cooking tool. Traditional grilling requires high heat

for searing and proper browning. Many meats are initially cooked on “HIGH” to sear / brown the

meat and lock in juices. After that, the temperature can be lowered to complete the cooking, such

as with large pieces of meat or poultry. This method will cook the food through without burning

the outside. Traditional barbecuing (foods cooked for a long time at low heat) is also possible with

your Hestan Grill. As with any new tool, it will take a little practice to get to know your new grill,

how hot it runs, cooking times for your favorite foods, etc. DO NOT leave the grill unattended while

cooking.

PREHEATING

A typical preheat time for the Trellis Burner

™

is about 10-15 minutes on “HIGH”. The infrared

Rotisserie and Sear Burners also require 10-15 minutes pre-heat time.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The large temperature gauge in your Hestan grill hood indicates when your

grill is ready for cooking. The dial reads the air temperature in your grill,

but is calibrated to approximate the temperature at the cooking surface.

(see Fig. 8)

COOKING WITH TRELLIS BURNERS

™

AND SEAR BURNERS

The unique shape of the Hestan Trellis Burner was designed with even

heating in mind. The burners, along with the specially designed valves,

allow for a broad range of cooking temperatures. The Trellis Burner can

sear and grill your meats on high heat, or be dialed down low for authentic

barbecuing. The radiant briquette trays are an integral part of this cooking

system. They serve to even out the heat, while also reducing flare-ups and

vaporizing drippings which release aromas that are absorbed by the meat.

For those seeking a little more, the extreme heat of the Hestan Infrared

Sear Burners offer even more power for those wishing a quick sear to lock in flavor, while still

retaining temperature control. However, your grilling times are much shorter. The mesh screen on

the burners serve to protect the ceramic tiles from food debris and drippings which might clog the

thousands of pores in the tiles. Most drippings and grease will instantly vaporize on contact with the

hot screen and tiles.

COOKING WITH THE ROTISSERIE

Rotisserie cooking provides an even delivery of heat to your foods. The constant rotation not only

cooks foods evenly, it also self-bastes the food as the juices rise to the surface and naturally flow

around it. The position of the Hestan rotisserie burner ensures no flare-ups are possible and heat is

not directed at you when the hood is open. Your foods will be more evenly cooked, more tender, and

juicier when slow-roasted on a Hestan rotisserie.

Before rotisserie cooking, swing the warming rack down and out of the way. It will rest in place

against the rear wall, or it can be removed from the grill. A roasting pan is provided with your grill

to catch excess drippings from clogging your burners below. Be sure you remove it after using your

rotisserie and before using the other burners.

The Hestan rotisserie system consists of three main parts: the motor, the spit and forks, and the

infrared Rotisserie Burner.

THE MOTOR

Your Hestan Grill features an integral, chain-driven, AC motor which can handle a load of 50

in-lbs and a maximum diameter of 10 inches [25 cm]. The Grill must be connected to AC power for

the rotisserie to work. The speed is not adjustable but should provide a respectable speed for the

majority of your rotisserie cooking needs.

Figure 8

THE SPIT AND FORKS

The rotisserie can handle large food items up to 50 lbs. [22 kg]. You should prepare your food items

and first mount it on the spit, then mount the forks. Push the pointed end of the spit through the

food and center on the spit. Push on one fork and embed into the food, then tighten the thumb

screw (use pliers if necessary). Repeat this process for the opposite fork. You should wrap any loose,

dangling pieces of food (like wings) with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string).

With the food secured to the spit, slowly roll the spit in the palms of your hands to check for

balance. It should rotate smoothly. If you find it has a heavy side, adjust where the spit pierces the

meat. An unbalanced spit will cause uneven rotation and uneven cooking. It is normal for the spit to

flex with large foods during cooking.

Then mount the spit on the grill before lighting the rotisserie infrared burner. Lighting the burner

first could result in burning your hands while trying to mount the spit in the grill. Insert the pointed

end of the spit into the square drive receiver in the right wall of the grill, and rest the other end on

the rollers on the left wall of the grill. Turn on the motor to check the rotation and balance of the

food on the spit. Make adjustments as needed.

THE ROTISSERIE BURNER

The Hestan infrared rotisserie burner features a safety valve that automatically shuts off the gas

flow any time the burner is not properly lit, such as if it were to go out in windy conditions. The

location of the rotisserie burner should be less susceptible to strong wind conditions, but during

windy conditions, it’s best to keep the hood closed and to periodically check the burner. To light the

burner, see the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.

NOTICE:NOTICE: Avoid directing water on the Rotisserie Burner as this may damage the ceramic burner

panels. Water damage to your Rotisserie Burner is not covered by the warranty.

NOTE:NOTE: The grill thermometer should not be used for rotisserie cooking. It is not designed to read

direct infrared heat.

WOOD CHIP SMOKER

By using real wood chips in the smoker system of your Hestan grill, you can add extra flavor to all of

your grilled foods.

1. Soak the wood chips for at least 30 minutes before you plan to use the smoker. Drain

completely.

2. Fill the smoker tray with the drained wood chips.

3. Place the smoker tray on the cooking grate where the temperature is correct to smolder the

chips, not burn them. You do not want the chips to ignite. Smoke should begin in about

20-30 minutes.

4. When there is no more smoke, use the removal tool supplied with the smoker tray to carefully

remove it from the grill. Allow it to cool completely before attempting to refill the tray with

more chips.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

STAINLESS STEEL CARE

Stainless Steel is widely used for catering and residential kitchen equipment because of its strength,

its ability to resist corrosion, and its ease of cleaning. Unfortunately, the metal is often taken

for granted and it is assumed that no problems will arise during its usage. However, some care is

required to ensure a long service life of the grill.

USING YOUR GRILL

(continued)

To maintain the original appearance of your Hestan grill, a regular cleaning routine should be carried

out using the following guidelines:

1. After use, following the safety precautions detailed earlier in this manual, wipe the grill with a

soft, damp, soapy cloth and rinse with clean, warm water. This should remove most substances

encountered during the grilling process.

2. For stubborn stains, including burnt-on grease and food-borne deposits, use a multipurpose, non-

abrasive, cream cleanser and apply with a soft damp cloth. Rinse with fresh water, as described

above. On no account should steel wool pads be used unless they are made of stainless steel.

3. Harsh abrasives and metallic scouring materials should not be used for cleaning stainless steel as

they will leave scratch marks in the surface and damage the appearance of the grill. Likewise, do

not use wire brushes, scrapers or contaminated scouring pads.

4. For those areas with a directional grain, any cleaning with abrasives should be carried out along

this grain direction and not across it.

5. After use, always remove wet cleaning aids (such as cloths, pads, containers) from the surface, to

avoid formation of water marks or stains.

6. If required, dry the grill after use with a soft dry cloth or towel.

If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your Hestan grill should offer excellent life and should live

up to its reputation of being “stainless”. Neglect of this practice, however, can lead to deterioration

of the surface and, in some extreme cases, corrosion of the steel itself. The two most common types

of corrosion that may be encountered, particularly on stainless steel, are rust marks and pitting of the

surface.

RUST-BROWN MARKSRUST-BROWN MARKS

These rust marks are likely the result of small particles of “ordinary-steel” which have become

attached to the surface and have subsequently rusted in the damp environment. The most common

source of such particles is from steel wool scouring pads, but contamination may also occur from

carbon steel utensils and water from old supply pipes. These brown marks are only superficial stains

which will not harm the grill. They should be removable using a soft damp cloth and a multi-purpose,

non-abrasive, cream cleanser. Occasionally, it may be necessary to resort to a proprietary stainless

steel cleanser to return the surface of the grill to its original condition. To avoid re-occurrence of any

“rust-staining”, it is essential that the source of the contamination is eliminated. A Hestan grill cover

will go a long way toward preventing this kind of contamination.

PITTINGPITTING

A more severe form of corrosion is pitting of the surface. The sources of this corrosive attack can

usually be attributed to certain household products such as bleach, household cleaners containing

bleach (sodium hypochlorite), and pool chlorine. If you see pitting of the stainless steel surface, you

can attempt to buff it out using stainless steel abrasive pads, but in most cases, pitting of the surface

cannot be removed.

FOODSTUFFSFOODSTUFFS

In general, stainless steel is fully resistant to all foodstuffs in common use. Only in isolated cases,

such as when concentrated salt and vinegar mixtures are allowed to remain in contact with the steel

for a prolonged period, can any surface marking result. Clean the surface as per instructions above.

SALT WATER ENVIRONMENTSSALT WATER ENVIRONMENTS

Exposure to salt air and spray may cause surface rust or staining to appear. If neglected, pitting and

severe corrosion on various parts of your grill will occur. Clean the surfaces as per instructions above

on a more frequent basis, perhaps every week or every other week, and maintain the unit covered.

The Hestan warranty does not cover occasional surface rust or staining due to environmental

conditions. See warranty section for details.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

(continued)

CARE OF PAINTED SURFACES

(IF APPLICABLE)

Hestan grills are available in standard stainless steel, or 11 optional colors. The tough powder-

coating on these panels are commonly used on automotive parts, and commercial and residential

appliances because of their excellent chip resistance, and resistance to a variety of chemicals. The

finish should hold up well outdoors in most conditions. However, like any painted surface, special

care must be taken when cleaning this finish.

To clean your powder coated surface:

1. Carefully remove any loose deposits with a wet sponge.

2. Use a soft brush (non abrasive) or cloth, and a mild household detergent solution to remove dust,

salt and other deposits. Never use any solvent-based cleaners, stainless steel cleaners, heavy

degreasers, oven cleaners, etc. on the painted surfaces. They can permanently damage the paint.

3. Rinse off with clean fresh water and dry with a clean cloth.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF GRILL COMPONENTS

GRILL GRATE AND WARMING RACKGRILL GRATE AND WARMING RACK

The easiest way to clean the cooking grates is immediately after cooking is completed and after

turning off the flame. Wear a grill mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass

bristle grill brush in hot soapy water and scrub the hot grill rack. Dip the brush frequently in the

bowl of water. The steam created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by

softening any food particles. The food particles will fall through the grates and burn. If the grill is

allowed to cool before cleaning, then cleaning will be more difficult.

DRIP TRAYDRIP TRAY

The drip tray should be cleaned after every usage of the grill. Leaving a dirty drip tray in place will

attract insects and rodents. After allowing the grill to cool completely, remove the drip tray by

pulling it out of the grill. After cleaning, reinstall the tray.

GRILL BURNERSGRILL BURNERS

The briquette radiant trays should protect the Trellis Burners

™

completely. However, it may become

necessary to clean the burners, or to clean the firebox beneath the burners. Before removal, make

sure the gas supply is OFF and the control knobs are in the OFF position. Allow the grill to cool

completely, then lift off the cooking grates and radiant trays. To remove burners, lift the rear of

the burner out of the hanger bracket slightly, then rotate the burner to the left slightly to clear the

igniter shroud at the front of the firebox, then move the burner toward the rear of the firebox until

it is out. The burner is made out of a high-grade, 300-series stainless steel which can be cleaned with

a brass-bristle brush and warm, soapy water. Do not clean the ports with a toothpick or other item

which may break off inside the port. Use a paperclip or needle to do this. Stubborn scale can be

removed with a metal scraper. Be sure to rinse everything well and shake out any water and debris

trapped inside the burner tube.

Great care should be used when re-installing the burner. It must be correctly centered and secured

on the orifice before any attempt is made to relight the grill. The rear burner bracket should lie flat

and not have any side-to-side movement. See the LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE GRILL

section of this manual for details on proper burner installation.

ROTISSERIE BURNER CLEANINGROTISSERIE BURNER CLEANING

Due to the upper location of the Rotisserie Burner, it should not be necessary to clean it, unless food

debris or juices have sprayed onto the tiles. Should this happen, after removing the food item and

spit, turn the burner back on again for an additional 5 minutes to allow the burner to vaporize any

residue. Do not attempt to clean the tile ports with a toothpick or other item which may break off

inside the port. If needed, you may also wait until the burner has cooled completely and brush the

tile faces to remove any accumulated ash.

NOTICE:NOTICE: Avoid directing water on the Rotisserie Burner as this may damage the ceramic burner

panels. Water damage to your Rotisserie Burner is not covered by the warranty.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

(continued)

SEAR BURNER CLEANINGSEAR BURNER CLEANING

When used correctly, it should not be necessary to clean Hestan Infrared Sear Burners. The hot

screen and tiles vaporize anything that falls on them. However, if food debris or drippings were to

fall on an unused (not lit) Sear Burner, you can remove the mesh screen and brush the screen and

tiles with a stiff brush. Be sure to do this only when completely cooled down. DO NOT use a metal

scraper on the tiles, or put a lot of pressure on the tile faces as they may crack. Alternatively, you can

turn on the sear burner to burn everything off.

NOTICE: NOTICE: Avoid directing water into the Sear Burner as this may fill up the inside of the burner

housing with water, not allowing it to burn properly. Water intrusion could also damage the ceramic

tiles. Water damage to your Sear Burner is not covered by the warranty.

ORIFICE CLEANINGORIFICE CLEANING

You will need to remove the burner first. It may also be helpful to remove the control panel to

get a better look at the orifice (see Fig. 9). Take note of how far the orifice is tightened onto the

valve. With the burner removed, remove the orifice from the valve and shine a flashlight through

the opening to ensure there is no blockage. Use a sewing needle to clear any debris. Be extremely

careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle. Once clean, be sure to carefully thread the

orifice onto the valve by hand, then use a wrench or deep socket wrench to tighten it securely to the

same position as before. Replace the burner as per previous instruction.

IGNITERSIGNITERS

The hot-surface igniters on your Hestan Grill do not require any maintenance and are well protected

from debris falling on them. The spark igniters on the side burner are partially exposed and can be

contaminated in the event you have a boil-over when using the side burner. You can gently clean

them with a soapy water solution and a toothbrush. Wipe down with a clean cloth.

NOTE:NOTE: Rough handling of the igniter can crack the ceramic body, causing it to fail. Handle with care.

CLEANING THE BRIQUETTES AND TRAYS: CLEANING THE BRIQUETTES AND TRAYS:

After allowing the grill to cool completely, turn the radiant tray upside-down and operate the grill on

high for 30 minutes. The trays are “double sided” and can be left this way to burn off any encrusted

food or grease. The trays can occasionally be scrubbed clean with mild soap and water and a plastic

bristle brush. Allow them to cool completely, never handle hot trays. Replace the briquette trays,

ensuring that they sit level and do not rock. Light all of the burners and check for proper flame

characteristics.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

(continued)

Figure 10 Figure 11

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENTLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the power to your grill before any service or light bulb replacement. Be sure the grill

and the lights are completely cool. Halogen lights get extremely hot.

2. Open hood and remove the small screw holding the lamp assembly in place (Fig. 10). Remove the

lamp assembly, being careful not to drop the glass lens.

3. If needed, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to carefully pry off the lens and set aside. Loosen

the 2 screws closest to the lamp housing (Fig. 11). These screws hold the bulb in place. The bulb

should come out easily. The bulb is a 20W halogen “Bi-Pin” type, available at most hardware

stores and home centers.

4. Before installation, it is very important to clean the new bulb carefully with a clean, soft cloth, or

tissue paper. Grease, fingerprints, or oils in your skin can leave a residue on the glass surface of

the bulb which will create a hot-spot. The bulb will eventually crack at this hot-spot.

5. While still using a cloth or tissue paper, install the new bulb in the housing and tighten the

screws. Check that the other tiny screws are tight as well.

6. Re-install the lens and return the lamp assembly to the hood. Carefully install the screw to

secure the assembly to the hood.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONSADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Always keep the area around the grill free of obstructions and debris. Maintain at least 12”

[30 cm] of space around the grill to ensure proper airflow, and keep all ventilation openings clear

and free of debris. Clean appliance after each use, and check for blockages, especially at the burner

orifices, after periods of prolonged non-use. To maintain the appearance of your Hestan grill for

many years, keep it covered when not in use. Backyard environments are harsh on your grills’ finish.

Long exposure to sun, water, yard chemicals and the elements could diminish the appearance of the

stainless steel. This is very evident in ocean-front locations.

Our appliance materials have been tested in saline solutions with higher salinity than seawater.

They have also been tested by exposure to highly acidic foods. During and after these tests, we

found these materials were able to withstand exposure over prolonged periods of time. However,

the above-mentioned corrosive substances, along with neglect, can lead to a situation whereby

conditions might combine to cause some damage to occur. Therefore, we suggest that you always

keep your grill clean, dry and covered when not in use. This is even more important when long term

storage is required. Always store the grill clean, dry and covered with your Hestan Grill Cover. A

dirty grill will attract insects and rodents which is highly unsanitary. In addition, rodents are known

to chew on the insulation of wiring which will cause permanent damage to the wiring and possibly

electrical components.

For those in desert communities, wind-driven sand is highly abrasive and constant exposure will

eventually pit and scratch the surface. It is recommended to keep your grill covered to minimize this

issue.
