APPLIANCE
CONVERSION KITS 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 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 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.
CAUTION
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. DO NOT touch the top of the backguard during
appliance operation as it may get hot. 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.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
A vent hood is REQUIRED above this appliance. 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 rangetop. Due to the high heat output of this rangetop, 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 rangetop. These types of units
do not have sufficient airflow to remove the high heat output of this rangetop and were not tested
with this type of appliance.
