Use and Care Manual

to fall on an unused (not lit) Sear Burner, you can remove the mesh screen and brush the screen and

tiles with a stiff brush. Be sure to do this only when completely cooled down. DO NOT use a metal

scraper on the tiles, or put a lot of pressure on the tile faces as they may crack. Alternatively, you can

turn on the sear burner to burn everything off.

NOTICE: Avoid directing water into the Sear Burner as this may fill up the inside of the burner

housing with water, not allowing it to burn properly. Water intrusion could also damage the ceramic

tiles. Water damage to your Sear Burner is not covered by the warranty.

ORIFICE CLEANING

You will need to remove the burner first. It may also be helpful to remove the control panel to get

a better look at the orifice (see Fig. 9). Take note of how far the orifice is tightened onto the valve.

With the burner removed, remove the orifice from the valve and shine a flashlight through the

opening to ensure there is no blockage. Use a sewing needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful

not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle. Once clean, be sure to carefully thread the orifice

onto the valve by hand, then use a wrench or deep socket wrench to tighten it securely to the same

position as before. Replace the burner as per previous instruction.

IGNITERS

The hot-surface igniters on your Hestan Grill do not require any maintenance and are well

protected from debris falling on them. The spark igniters on the side burner are 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.

CLEANING THE BRIQUETTES AND TRAYS:

After allowing the grill to cool completely, turn the radiant tray upside-down and operate the

grill on high for 30 minutes. The trays are “double sided” and can be left this way to burn off any

encrusted food or grease. The trays can occasionally be scrubbed clean with mild soap & water

and a plastic bristle brush. Allow them to cool completely, never handle hot trays. Replace the

briquette trays, ensuring that they sit level and do not rock. Light all of the burners and check for

proper flame characteristics
