CARE OF PAINTED SURFACES (IF APPLICABLE)
Hestan grills are available in standard stainless steel, or 11 optional colors. The tough powder-
coating on these panels are commonly used on automotive parts, and commercial and residential
appliances because of their excellent chip resistance, and resistance to a variety of chemicals. The
finish should hold up well outdoors in most conditions. However, like any painted surface, special
care must be taken when cleaning this finish.
To clean your powder coated surface:
1. Carefully remove any loose deposits with a wet sponge.
2. Use a soft brush (non abrasive) or cloth, and a mild household detergent solution to remove
dust, salt and other deposits. Never use any solvent-based cleaners, stainless steel cleaners,
heavy degreasers, oven cleaners, etc. on the painted surfaces. They can permanently damage
the paint.
3. Rinse off with clean fresh water and dry with a clean cloth.
CARE & MAINTENANCE OF GRILL COMPONENTS
GRILL GRATE AND WARMING RACK
The easiest way to clean the cooking grates is immediately after cooking is completed and after
turning off the flame. Wear a grill mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass
bristle grill brush in hot soapy water and scrub the hot grill rack. Dip the brush frequently in the
bowl of water. The steam created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by
softening any food particles. The food particles will fall through the grates and burn. If the grill is
allowed to cool before cleaning, then cleaning will be more difficult.
DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be cleaned after every usage of the grill. Leaving a dirty drip tray in place will
attract insects and rodents. After allowing the grill to cool completely, remove the drip tray by
pulling it out of the grill. After cleaning, reinstall the tray.
GRILL BURNERS
The briquette radiant trays should protect the Trellis Burners
™
completely. However, it may
become necessary to clean the burners, or to clean the firebox beneath the burners. Before
removal, make sure the gas supply is OFF and the control knobs are in the OFF position. Allow the
grill to cool completely, then lift off the cooking grates and radiant trays. To remove burners, lift
the rear of the burner out of the hanger bracket slightly, then rotate the burner to the left slightly
to clear the igniter shroud at the front of the firebox, then move the burner toward the rear of
the firebox until it is out. The burner is made out of a high-grade, 300-series stainless steel which
can be cleaned with a brass-bristle brush and warm, soapy water. Do not clean the ports with a
toothpick or other item which may break off inside the port. Use a paperclip or needle to do this.
Stubborn scale can be removed with a metal scraper. Be sure to rinse everything well and shake out
any water and debris trapped inside the burner tube.
Great care should be used when re-installing the burner. It must be correctly centered and secured
on the orifice before any attempt is made to relight the grill. The rear burner bracket should lie
flat and not have any side-to-side movement. See the LOCATING AND ASSEMBLY section of this
manual for details on proper burner installation.
ROTISSERIE BURNER CLEANING
Due to the upper location of the Rotisserie Burner, it should not be necessary to clean it, unless
food debris or juices have sprayed onto the tiles. Should this happen, after removing the food item
& spit, turn the burner back on again for an additional 5 minutes to allow the burner to vaporize
any residue. Do not attempt to clean the tile ports with a toothpick or other item which may break
off inside the port. If needed, you may also wait until the burner has cooled completely and brush
the tile faces to remove any accumulated ash.
NOTICE: Avoid directing water on the Rotisserie Burner as this may damage the ceramic burner
panels. Water damage to your Rotisserie Burner is not covered by the warranty.
