LOCATING THE SUITE
LOCATION
When determining a suitable location for your grill and suite, take into account concerns such as exposure to
wind, rain, sprinklers, proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas supply line runs as short as possible.
Locate the grill only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or
other such enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. Never locate the grill over, under, or next
to unprotected combustible construction.
AIRFLOW / WINDY AREAS
During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and smoke. The grill is designed to take in cool air at the
front control panel area, and send the combustion products and smoke out the exhaust gap at the rear of the
hood. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN THIS FLOW AT ALL TIMES.
Using the grill in windy areas can disrupt the proper flow and cause damage to your grill, or result in burn
hazards to the user. Initial indications of this situation are very hot control knobs. Using an oven mitt or
other protection, and while keeping your face away, immediately open the hood to release the built up
heat inside the grill. Turn down the burners to a lower setting. It is very important that the suite & grill is
oriented so the prevailing wind is toward the front of the grill as seen below in Fig. 1.
For built-in grill installations which consistently receive wind at the rear of the grill, a Wind Screen accessory
is available from Hestan. Contact your Hestan dealer for details.
Damage caused from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs
and/or wiring, discoloration of the control panel, etc., is excluded from
warranty coverage.
The Hestan Outdoor Living suite features ventilation openings (louvers) on each end. These
openings must be clear to avoid accumulation of gas should there be a leak. These openings are
further described later in this manual.
