PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL
8. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, 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
EN
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, 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 side burner is in operation or is hot.
11. Inspect LP gas supply hose prior to each use of the side burner. The hose must be kept away
from heated areas of the side burner. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the
hose is cut, it must be replaced before using the side burner. 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 side burner. 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 side burner,
disrupting the gas flow in the burner. This very dangerous condition can cause a fire
behind the control panel, damaging the side burner and risking personal injury. If your side
burner has been unused for a long time, inspect and clean the burners, venturis, valves, and
orifices. It is recommended you inspect your side burner at least twice a year. See BURNER
ADJUSTMENT section of this manual for details.
14. Keep the areas surrounding the side burner 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 and ventilation airways (front).
15. If your side burner is mounted on a grill 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 side burner 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
well-ventilated area, out of the reach of children. A grill cover which covers the entire grill +
side burner is recommended, even when stored indoors.
17. Never move the side burner when hot. When in use, portions of the side burner 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 cooking with the side burner.
They could ignite. For personal safety, wear proper apparel while cooking. Some synthetic
fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
20. Never let pot holders, 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.
21. Never touch the cooking grates or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare
