SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN (CONTINUED)
GAS
SUPPLY
TO
APPLIANCE
SHUTOFF VALVE
IN OPEN POSITION
GAS SUPPLY
A gas shut-off valve must be located in an easily accessible
location for servicing of the rangetop. Make sure all users
of the rangetop know where this shut-off is located, and
how to shut off the gas.
The type of gas should be verified prior to installation and
operation of this appliance. It is the responsibility of the
user to have the appliance connected by a licensed plumber
in accordance with all local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code.
When connecting to LP gas, verify the tank is equipped
with its own high pressure regulator. The pressure of the
gas supplied to the appliance must not exceed 11.0” WC
[2.74 kPa]. Consult the Installation Manual for details
on gas type, gas pressure, connection and leak testing
instructions, etc.
Read the GAS CONNECTIONS section of the Installation Manual for complete details.
CONVERSION KITS
In the event your Hestan appliance needs to be converted from NG to LP, or vice-versa, you will
need to contact Hestan Customer Service to arrange a service call. This conversion should only be
performed by a qualified technician.
HIGH ALTITUDE KITS
If you live in a high altitude area, 2,000 ft. [610 m] or more above sea level, your appliance may
require different orifices for proper combustion and performance. You will need to contact Hestan
Customer Service to arrange a service call. High Altitude kits must be installed by a qualified
technician. Please have your model and serial number information ready when you call.
BACKGUARD
Your Hestan rangetop is supplied at the factory with an Island Trim backguard. See Table 1 in the
APPENDIX section of the Installation Manual for other backguard options available from your
Hestan dealer, or visit www.hestanhome.com. Selection of the appropriate backguard depends on
the installation location and adjacent materials, and the type of vent hood to be used. Installation
instructions are included with the backguard kit. A LOW OR TALL BACKGUARD IS REQUIRED
WHEN INSTALLING THE RANGETOP AGAINST A COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE - THE ISLAND
TRIM IS NOT SUITABLE.
CAUTION
The top of the backguard serves as an exhaust vent to remove heat from under the rangetop. DO
NOT BLOCK or obstruct the top of the backguard. DO NOT touch the top of the backguard
during appliance operation as it may get hot. Allow sufficient time to cool before touching or
cleaning this area. DO NOT position plastic or other heat-sensitive items nearby which could melt
or burn.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed with a Hestan vent hood. Hestan vent
hoods have been matched up to the BTU output of the rangetop. Due to the high heat output of
this rangetop, it is very important that the hood and ductwork installation meets local building
codes and is installed by a qualified technician.
Do not use a down-draft style ventilation system.
