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. Never move the side burner when hot. When in use, portions of the side burner are hot enough to cause
severe burns.
16. Always have an “ABC” type fire extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with
water or other liquids.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. Never touch the cooking grates or immediate surrounding metal surfaces with your bare hands while
cooking with the side burner, as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns. Use only the
handles and knobs provided for operation of the side burner.
20. Protect your hands with an insulated glove or mitt when operating the side burner. Always keep your
face away and open lids slowly on pots and pans to allow heat and steam to escape before fully opening.
Never lean over an open hot side burner.
21. The side burner metal cover must be removed while lighting. Leaving the cover in place while lighting
can result in an explosion and personal injury, or death. Never lean over a side burner or look directly
into the burner when attempting to light. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.
22. Do not heat unopened food containers (cans) as pressure build-up will cause the container to explode.
23. Do not use aluminum foil to line the burner bowl. This will alter the airflow to the burner 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.
