CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
(continued)
IGNITERS
The spark igniter on the side burner is 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: Rough handling of the igniter can crack the ceramic body, causing it to fail. Handle with
care.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Always keep the area around the grill and side burner free of obstructions and debris. Maintain
at least 12” (30 cm) of space around the grill and side burner 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 side burner for many years, keep it covered when not in use. Backyard
environments are harsh on your appliance’s 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 and side burner clean, dry and covered when not in use. This is even
more important when long term storage is required. Always store the grill and side burner clean,
dry and covered with your Hestan Grill and Side Burner Cover. A dirty grill and side burner 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. Another reason to keep your grill and side burner covered
when not in use.
