NOT leave the side burner unattended while cooking.

COOKING WITH SIDE BURNERS
Use your Hestan Side Burner like you would any residential gas cooktop in your home. Choose
the appropriate pot or pan for the burner. In other words, don't put a small pot over a large
burner. 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.

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 side burner.
To maintain the original appearance of your Hestan side burner, 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 appliance
with a soft, damp, soapy cloth and rinse with clean, warm water. This should remove most
substances encountered during the cooking 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 appliance.
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 appliance after use with a soft dry cloth or towel.
If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your Hestan side burner 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 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 old water supply pipes. These brown marks are only
superficial stains, which will not harm the side burner. They should be removable using a soft
damp cloth and a multi-purpose, non-abrasive, cream cleanser. Occasionally, it may be necessary
