the ultimate step forward. We sincerely welcome you to the Aspire by Hestan Family. We’ve

engineered and built our products so that your guests will rave about your meal, but deep down,

our customers know it could’ve been just a little more tender, juicier – a pinch more salt in the

rub or a few seconds less on the ame. Yes, we’ve taken the time to know our Aspire by Hestan

customer and we’re excited to be on this journey with you. Aspire by Hestan was born from this

same perfectionist passion. Our engineers experimented, innovated, tweaked and tinkered until

they created the most powerful, versatile and reliable outdoor products available.

We pride ourselves on restless innovation, superior engineering and purpose-built designs,

but also our in-depth understanding of our target consumer and the interests and needs of the

PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GRILL

When properly cared for, your Aspire grill will provide safe, reliable service for many years. However,

extreme care must be used since the grill produces intense heat, which can cause serious injury or even death

if the instructions are not followed carefully. When using this appliance, basic safety practices must be

followed as outlined below.

1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.

2. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow

them to sit, stand, or play on or around the grill. Do not store items of interest to children around or

below the grill or in the cart. Never allow children to crawl inside of the cart.

3. Never operate the grill while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

4. Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area, oceanfront, mountaintop,

etc., a Wind Screen will be required (available from Hestan). Always adhere to the specified clearances as

described in the INSTALLATION section of this manual.

5. The grill shall be used only outdoors and shall not be used in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways, or any

enclosed areas. Do not operate the grill under unprotected, combustible construction. Use only in well-

ventilated areas. See the INSTALLATION section of this manual.

6. Do not use the grill unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections. See the GAS

CONNECTIONS section of this manual.

7. If the grill is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that they show you where your

gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is easily accessible. If you smell gas,

check for leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. Never check gas leaks with an

open flame. See the GAS CONNECTIONS section of this manual.

8. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi / valve section carefully. Always turn off

gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.

9. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are turning the

correct knob labeled for the burner you intend to use. If any burner does not light, or goes out during

operation, turn off all gas control knobs, open the hood and wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-

light. See the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.

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 grill is in operation or is hot.

11. Inspect LP gas supply hose prior to each use of the grill. The hose must be kept away from heated areas

of the grill. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced before

using the grill. 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 grill. The cord is provided with a

Grill rating label

is located on the

underside of the

drip pan.

RATING LABEL

29. Never use charcoal, pellets, wood, or any other solid fuel in the grill. Wood chips for smoking are to be

used with the smoker accessory only. See the SMOKER section of this manual.

30. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for

grill use. However, these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on

low or medium heat settings, and according to their manufacturers’ directions.

31. Do not lean on side shelves or place a load of more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on a side shelf.

32. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other

warranty and non-warranty service should be referred to and performed by a qualified technician.

33. For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean them

periodically for optimum performance. The burners will operate only in one position and must be

mounted correctly for safe operation. See BURNER ADJUSTMENT section of this manual.

34. Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns - do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while

it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite when applied to a hot surface. Be sure all

grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the

grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal

parts to corrode. Clean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion,

cracks, or insect activity. See the CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS

Massachusetts requires all gas be installed using a plumber or gas fitter carrying the appropriate

Massachusetts license. All permanently installed natural gas or propane installations require a T handle type

manual gas valve be installed in the gas supply line to this appliance. This does not apply to portable propane

installations using a 20lb. cylinder.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 - WARNING

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including carbon monoxide, which is

known to the State of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. For more

information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

PORTABLE LP GAS CYLINDERS

Use only a standard 20 lb. (9.1kg) liquid propane (LP) gas cylinder - 12.25” diam. X 18.25” H (31cm X 47cm)

which features an Overfill Protection Device. The cylinder must be installed in the upright position. Do not

use a dented or rusty LP cylinder as it may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. Never

use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Never move or alter the gas fittings. Check the expiration date on the

cylinder collar as well. Do not refill an expired cylinder, it must be replaced. If you buy refilled (exchange)

LP cylinders, check this date as well.

The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas

cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The cylinder must be provided with a shut off

valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1

in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connections ANSI/CGA-V-I.

Certain liquid propane dealers may fill LP cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity.

This “overfilling” may create a dangerous condition due to a build-up of excess pressure. As a safety device,

there is a pressure relief valve which will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor

LOCATING AND ASSEMBLING THE GRILL

LOCATION

When determining a suitable location for your grill, 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. If this happens, use 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. If you have a free-standing grill on a

cart, re-orient the grill 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.

OTHER CONSIDER

OTHER CONSIDERA

ATIONS

TIONS

TIONSOTHER CONSIDERATIONS

When installing a grill or other gas appliance

into an enclosure (island), the enclosure must be

constructed with ventilation openings to avoid

accumulation of gas should there be a leak. See

the INSTALLATION section of this manual for

details.

Ensure all packaging, straps, etc. have been

removed from the grill. Remove any tie-down

wires from the burners.

Your Aspire grill has provision for mounting onto

a mobile cart if you choose to do so. Contact

your Hestan Aspire dealer for the appropriate

cart for your grill. If your grill is mounted on a

cart, engage the brakes on the casters to prevent

movement of the cart.

is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety

precautions:

1. When you have your cylinder filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 80% of its total

capacity.

2. If you own or use a spare cylinder, you should NEVER store it near or under the grill/cart unit or burner

box, or near any other ignition or heat source (like a water heater or furnace).

IF THE INFORMATION IN 1 AND 2 ABOVE IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE CAUSING

DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.

3. The LP cylinder must be disconnected and stored OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area, out of the reach of

children.

4. Do not store a full cylinder in direct sunlight.

PORTABLE LP GAS CYLINDERS

(continued)

Ensure that the burners are positioned correctly on their orifices, and are fully seated onto their rear hanger

brackets (see Fig. 2). The burners should not move side-to-side or front-to-back if properly seated.

Above each U-burner is a stainless steel radiant tray containing specially shaped ceramic briquettes.

Position the radiant trays onto the lower ledge of the burner box in the grill, and then install the cooking

grates on the upper ledge (see Fig. 3). The burners and radiant trays work together to create a very even

heat, front-to-back, left-to-right. The radiant trays also serve to minimize flare-ups, and prevent blockages

of the burner ports from falling grease and debris. The radiant trays and U-burners must be used together

and are integral to the performance of the grill. Do not cook on the grill without them.

Note:

INSTALLATION - NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

CLEARANCES

TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

A minimum of 4” [10 cm] clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is

required to allow the hood to be opened fully.

Note: The diagrams on the following page show a typical 30” [76.2 cm] deep island, which result in the

6.50” [16.5 cm] reference dimension, and the 5.25” [13.3 cm] dimension at the back of the grill when

installed.

ALL materials in the island and the countertop must be made of non-combustible materials.

Adjacent walls must be made of non-combustible materials . As an example, if you have an island

with a stucco or tiled surface and wood-frame construction beneath, or wood-frame walls adjacent

or behind, the wood is considered combustible, even though the grill is touching the stucco or tiled

surface, which is non-combustible. In extreme circumstances, the wood could potentially get hot

enough to burn.

ISLAND VENTILATION OPENINGS

A minimum of two ventilation openings are

required to safely dissipate gas vapors if there

is a leak inside your enclosure (island). Three

openings are preferred at left and right sides, as

well as the back of the island.

Upper and lower ventilation openings are

required. The upper openings must total 20

in² [129 cm²] in open area and must be located

within 5” [12.7 cm] of the countertop and

unobstructed. The lower openings must total 10

in² [65 cm²] in open area and must be located 1”

[2.5 cm] or less from the floor. The upper edge

of this lower opening shall be no more than 5”

[12.7 cm] above the floor.

Louvered or meshed panels can be used on these

openings to keep rodents and debris out of the

island. The openings in these panels must be

1/8” [3.2 mm] diameter or greater.

CLEARANCES

TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

This appliance should NOT be installed over, under or next to unprotected combustible

construction. If your enclosure (island) is combustible, then an insulated jacket manufactured by

Hestan, is required. See INSULATION JACKET dimensions on the next page to make allowances

in your enclosure for this item.

A minimum clearance to combustible materials, such as adjacent walls, is 12” [30 cm] on the sides

and the rear of the appliance, BELOW the countertop surface.

A minimum clearance to combustible materials, such as adjacent walls, is 12” [30 cm] on the sides

and the rear of the appliance, ABOVE the countertop surface.

• If the rear wall is made of non-combustible materials, the rear clearance can be a minimum of

4” [10 cm] clearance from the back of the grill to allow the hood to be opened fully.

• If the rear wall is made of combustible materials, see the warning below.

Note: The diagrams on the following page show a typical 30” [76.2 cm] deep island, which result in the

4.75” [12.1 cm] reference dimension, and the 5.25” [13.3 cm] dimension at the back of the grill when

INSTALLATION - VENTILATION AND OVERHEAD CONSTRUCTION

In certain installations, such as an island located against your home or other structure, or perhaps a short

roof overhang above your grill, a “range-hood” style ventilation unit may be desirable to direct smoke and

grease away from those structures. In these cases, a Hestan outdoor vent hood is recommended. See table

below to select the appropriate vent hood for your grill model. Each vent hood model was designed with the

appropriate width and required air-flow (cfm) for the grill below it.

FOR NON-COMBUSTIBLE LOCATIONS ONLY!! The vent hood is wall-mounted and must NOT be

installed on or next to unprotected combustible construction, and must be covered by a protective roof to

prevent water intrusion. A minimum clearance to vertical combustible material, such as adjacent walls, is

24” [61 cm] on the sides of the appliance (see below). Duct covers are also available to conceal the ductwork

and wiring above the vent. A GFCI protected branch circuit is required. Complete installation details are

provided with the vent hood.

ALL materials in the island and the countertop must be made of non-combustible

materials. The rear wall, adjacent walls, and overhead construction must also be

made of non-combustible materials. As an example, if you have an island with a stucco or tiled surface and

wood-frame construction beneath, or wood-frame walls adjacent or behind, the wood is considered

combustible, even though the grill is touching the stucco or tiled surface, which is non-combustible. In

extreme circumstances, the wood could potentially get hot enough to burn.

THE VENT HOOD MUST BE TURNED ON AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE GRILL IS ON.

Construction methods and installation must comply with all local building codes.

The local gas authority or supplier should be consulted at the installation planning stage in order to

establish the availability of an adequate supply of gas (NG or LP). If it is a new installation, have the

gas authorities or supplier check the meter size and piping to assure that the unit is supplied with the

necessary amount of gas supply and pressure to operate the unit(s).

Gas connections should be made by a qualified plumber, or your professional outdoor appliance installer.

All fixed (non-mobile) appliances must be fitted with an accessible upstream gas shutoff valve as a means of

isolating the appliance for emergency shut off and for servicing.

Make certain new piping and connections have been made in a clean manner and have been purged so that

piping compound, chips, etc. will not clog regulators, valves, orifices, or burners. Use pipe joint compound

/ thread sealant approved for natural and LP gases.

NEVER CONNECT THE GRILL TO AN UNREGULATED GAS SUPPLY. Before proceeding, ensure the

appliance is fitted for Natural or Liquid Propane gas. Connecting to an improper gas type will result in

poor performance and increased risk of damage or injury. Gas type and gas consumption (BTU per hour)

for each burner type is shown on the rating label affixed to the underside of the drip tray.

Installation of this cooking appliance must be made in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local

codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No.

CSA B149-1

, or Propane Storage and Handling Code B149.2.

NOTE:

NOTE:NOTE: See rating label for manifold pressure for the type of gas of your appliance.

CONVERSION KITS

Gas conversion kits are available from your Hestan dealer should you need to convert an LP unit to NG, or

vice-versa.

HIGH ALTITUDE KITS

If you live in a high altitude area, 2,000 ft. [610 m] or more above sea level, your grill will require different

orifices for proper combustion and performance. High altitude kits are available through Hestan

Customer Service. Please have your model and serial number information ready when you call.

FREE-STANDING GRILL CONNECTION TO A STATIONARY SUPPLY

Natural Gas (NG) units, or propane (LP) units mounted on a cart and connected to a stationary gas supply

outside the grill must be connected using a 10 ft. approved gas hose. This hose may be purchased as an

accessory.

When routing the hose behind your grill, be careful not to roll over the hose, or place it in an area of

high foot traffic which could create a tripping hazard. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose.

Periodically check the hose for scratches, nicks, brittleness, cracking, which could all lead to a gas leak.

Check for gas leaks if you ever smell gas (see LEAK TESTING on page 15). As an added safety measure,

shut off the gas supply after each grill use. Do not push excess hose length back into the rear access hole of

the grill cart. There is not enough room inside the unit and the hose would get kinked or damaged by cart

movement.

LEAK TESTING

GENERAL

Although all gas connections on your grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete

gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible movement in shipment, or

excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to parts of the unit. Periodically check the whole system for

leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING

BEFORE TESTINGBEFORE TESTING

• Do not smoke while leak testing.

• Never leak test with an open flame.

• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.

• Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle or a brush.

• For LP units, always check with a full LP cylinder.

TO TEST

• Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.

• Apply the soap solution described above to all fittings.

• Turn the gas supply on.

• Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe

assembly.

• Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply,

tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas supply back on, and recheck.

• If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call the dealer where you purchased your grill.

• Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

be replaced together. Do not attempt to repair or replace the hose itself. Contact your Hestan dealer for

genuine replacement P/N 014309.

Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water

near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.

BURNER ADJUSTMENTS

Aspire grills feature U-burners, and infrared Rotisserie and Sear Burners. The following instructions apply

only to the U-burner.

U-BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT

U-BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENTU-BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT

Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment. The proper orifice for the gas

type, and the air-fuel (air shutter) adjustment was made at this time. However, variations in the local gas

supply, the elevation where you live, converting from one gas type to another, and other factors might

make it necessary to adjust the burner flames.

The flames of the burners should be visually checked and compared with the figures below.

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips (LP units will have some yellow tipping). There

should be no excessive noise or flame lifting. If any of these conditions exist, remove the burners and

check if dirt, debris, spider webs, etc., are blocking the air shutter or burner ports. Proceed with air shutter

adjustment if necessary.

GAS CONNECTIONS

(continued)

U-BURNER

LOCK SCREWAIR SHUTTER

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT

Remove the control panel to gain access to the orifice

area and air shutters on the burners. A metal cap at

the inlet of the burner called the “AIR SHUTTER”

regulates the amount of air that enters into the

burner for combustion (see Fig. 4). The air shutter

has a lock screw which must be loosened prior to

adjustment. Remove the burner carefully from the

grill. With a marker pen, mark the current location

of the shutter opening, then loosen the screw of the

air shutter. Reinstall the burner. Make certain that

the burners are sitting properly on the orifices taking

care not to move or damage the igniter electrodes.

Reinstall the radiant trays.

BURNER REMOVAL BEFORE AIR

SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT

Open your grill and remove the grates, radiant

trays, and burners from the firebox area.

U-burners are removed by lifting up the rear of

the burner, and carefully twisting to clear the

igniter shroud. Sear burners have a small metal

cover over the igniter which must be removed

first. There is also a screw at the rear firebox wall

which must be removed. The sear burner can

then be carefully removed using the same twisting

action to avoid breaking the ceramic igniter.

• Turn the valve on “HIGH”, light the burner and allow it to warm up for 10 minutes. Be careful because

the burner will be hot from this point forward.

• If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to allow more air

to the burner.

• If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner ports, indicating too much air, turn the air

shutter clockwise to reduce the amount of air to the burner.

• Once you have established a good flame, make a new mark with the marker pen.

• Remove the burner again and retighten the lock screw of the air shutter taking note of your newly

marked position.

• Repeat this process for each burner.

• Perform one last check that all burners are properly seated on their orifices and rear hanger bracket.

• Reinstall all radiant trays and cooking grates.

• Reinstall the control panel and control knobs.

VALVE ADJUSTMENTS

The valves on your Aspire grill are preset at the factory for optimum performance. However, the low

setting on these valves are adjustable if altitude, low-heat performance, converting from one gas to another,

or other factors indicate an adjustment is needed. It is not recommended to adjust the Rotisserie or Sear

Burner valves.

Figure 4

NEVER ADJUST THE BURNER SO LOW THAT IT MAY GO OUT DURING USE.

DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL WITH THE LOW HEAT SCREW REMOVED. GAS

CAN ESCAPE AND CAUSE A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

ADJUSTMENT STEPS

1. Remove the control knobs, drip tray, and control panel

from the unit.

2. Follow lighting instructions by setting the control knob on

“HI” and allow the burner to preheat for 10 minutes.

3. Turn the control knob to “LOW” and wait for the burner

temperature to drop and stabilize, about 10 minutes.

Attempting adjustment at any setting other than LOW can

create a dangerous condition.

4. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the valve stem to

begin the adjustment (see Fig. 5). The screw only has 2-3

complete revolutions of adjustment. After this, the screw

may continue to turn, but is actually coming out of the valve

and could result in a gas leak. DO NOT turn more than 3 revolutions!

5. Turn counter-clockwise very slowly to INCREASE the low flame. The flame will take a few seconds to

respond to the adjustments you are making.

6. Adjust the flame so the burner is still fully lit on all ports, without fluttering or going out. Turn off

the burner and re-light. Check the new low setting once again to assure proper adjustment is reached.

Reattach the control knob.

INFRARED BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENT

Infrared burners do not require adjustment and need only be checked visually for proper performance. On

HIGH, an infrared burner should glow red evenly over its entire surface. A diminished red glow and/or a

large blue “halo” of flame on the surface of the infrared burner indicates improper airflow or a blockage at

the burner itself. Call for service.

LIGHTING ROTISSERIE BURNER (if equipped)

1. Push & hold the knob for 5 seconds, then turn to the “HIGH”. Continue to hold in the knob for at least

30 seconds after lighting. Rotisserie burner should stay lit and begin to glow. Release the knob, burner

should stay on.

2. If burner does not stay lit, turn knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before re-lighting.

3. If burner fails to light, see below for match lighting instructions.

MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

If a burner will not light after several attempts, it

can be lit with a match. Open the hood and allow 5

minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate from

the grill. Use a long-stem fireplace match, or attach

a short match to the match lighting clip provided

with your Aspire Grill (see Fig. 7).

When attempting to light a burner with a match,

be sure you selected the correct control knob for

that burner. Keep your face away as far as possible,

and pass the lit match through the openings of the

cooking grates and radiant trays and position near the burner ports. Push and turn the control knob to

“HIGH” until the burner lights. Repeat this procedure for each burner if necessary. If the burner does not

light in 5 seconds, turn the control knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again. If the burner

will not light after several attempts, see the TROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual.

In sunny locations, infrared Rotisserie and Sear Burners may be difficult to see if they are lit. After

attempting to light, you can very carefully wave your hand 8-10 inches [20-25 cm] away from the burner

surface to feel the heat of the burner. If there is no heat, OR IF YOU SMELL GAS, shut off the control

knob and wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.

Your Aspire Grill is a powerful and versatile cooking tool. Traditional grilling requires high heat for

searing and proper browning. Many meats are initially cooked on “HIGH” to sear / brown the meat

and lock in juices. After that, the temperature can be lowered to complete the cooking, such as with

large pieces of meat or poultry. This method will cook the food through without burning the outside.

Traditional barbecuing (foods cooked for a long time at low heat) is also possible with your Aspire Grill. As

with any new tool, it will take a little practice to get to know your new grill, how hot it runs, cooking times

for your favorite foods, etc. DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

Figure 7

PREHEATING

A typical preheat time for the U-burner is about 10-15 minutes on “HIGH”. The infrared Rotisserie and

Sear Burners also require 10-15 minutes pre-heat time.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE

The large temperature gauge in your Aspire grill hood indicates when your grill is ready for cooking. The

dial reads the air temperature in your grill, but is calibrated to approximate the temperature at the cooking

surface. (see Fig. 8)

COOKING WITH U-BURNERS AND SEAR BURNERS

The Aspire by Hestan U-burner was designed with even heating in

mind. The burners, along with the specially designed valves, allow

for a broad range of cooking temperatures. The U-burners can sear

and grill your meats on high heat, or be dialed down low for authentic

barbecuing. The radiant briquette trays are an integral part of this

cooking system. They serve to even out the heat, while also reducing

flare-ups and vaporizing drippings which release aromas that are

absorbed by the meat.

For those seeking a little more, the extreme heat of an our Infrared

Sear Burner offers even more power for those wishing a quick sear to

lock in flavor, while still retaining temperature control. However, your

grilling times are much shorter. The mesh screen on the burner serves

to protect the ceramic tiles from food debris and drippings which

might clog the thousands of pores in the tiles. Most drippings and

grease will instantly vaporize on contact with the hot screen and tiles.

COOKING WITH THE ROTISSERIE (if equipped)

Rotisserie cooking provides an even delivery of heat to your foods. The constant rotation not only cooks

foods evenly, it also self-bastes the food as the juices rise to the surface and naturally flow around it. Your

foods will be more evenly cooked, more tender, and juicier when slow-roasted on our rotisserie.

Before rotisserie cooking, remove the warming rack from your grill. A roasting pan is provided with your

grill to catch excess drippings from clogging your burners below. Be sure you remove it after using your

rotisserie and before using the other burners.

The rotisserie system consists of three main parts: the external motor, the spit & forks, and the Infrared

Rotisserie Burner.

THE MOTOR

Your Aspire Grill features an externally-mounted, AC motor which can handle a load of 40 in-lbs and a

maximum diameter of 10 inches (25 cm). The motor must be connected to AC power for the rotisserie to

work. The speed is not adjustable but should provide a respectable speed for the majority of your rotisserie

cooking needs.

THE SPIT & FORKS

The rotisserie can handle large food items up to 40 lbs. You should prepare your food items and first mount

it on the spit, then mount the forks. Push the pointed end of the spit through the food and center on the

spit. Push on one fork and embed into the food, then tighten the thumb screw (use pliers if necessary).

Repeat this process for the opposite fork. You should wrap any loose, dangling pieces of food (like wings)

with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string).

USING YOUR GRILL

Figure 8

With the food secured to the spit, slowly roll the spit in the palms of your hands to check for balance.

It should rotate smoothly. If you find it has a heavy side, adjust where the spit pierces the meat. An

unbalanced spit will cause uneven rotation and uneven cooking. It is normal for the spit to flex with large

foods during cooking.

Then mount the spit on the grill before lighting the rotisserie infrared burner. Lighting the burner first

could result in burning your hands while trying to mount the spit in the grill. Insert the pointed end of the

spit into the square drive receiver of the motor, and also rest it on the small hook-cradles on both walls of

the grill. Turn on the motor to check the rotation and balance of the food on the spit. Make adjustments

as needed.

THE ROTISSERIE BURNER

The Infrared Rotisserie Burner features a safety valve that automatically shuts off the gas flow any

time the burner is not properly lit, such as if it were to go out in windy conditions. The location of the

rotisserie burner should be less susceptible to strong wind conditions, but during windy conditions, it’s

best to keep the hood closed and to periodically check the burner. To light the burner, see the LIGHTING

INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.

NOTICE:

NOTICE: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.

NOTE:

NOTE:NOTE: The grill thermometer should not be used for rotisserie cooking. It is not designed to read direct

infrared heat.

WOOD CHIP SMOKER

By using real wood chips in the smoker system of your Aspire grill, you can add extra flavor to all of your

grilled foods. The smoker accessory is sold separately by your Hestan dealer.

1. Soak the wood chips for at least 30 minutes before you plan to use the smoker. Drain completely.

2. Fill the smoker tray with the drained wood chips.

3. Place the smoker tray on the cooking grate where the temperature is correct to smolder the chips, not

burn them. You do not want the chips to ignite. Smoke should begin in about 20-30 minutes.

4. When there is no more smoke, use the removal tool supplied with the smoker tray to carefully remove it

from the grill. Allow it to cool completely before attempting to refill the tray with more chips.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

STAINLESS STEEL CARE

Stainless Steel is widely used for catering and residential kitchen equipment because of its strength, its

ability to resist corrosion, and its ease of cleaning. Unfortunately, the metal is often taken for granted and

it is assumed that no problems will arise during its usage. However, some care is required to ensure a long

service life of the grill.

To maintain the original appearance of your Aspire grill, a regular cleaning routine should be carried out

using the following guidelines:

1. After use, following the safety precautions detailed earlier in this manual, wipe the grill with a soft, damp,

soapy cloth and rinse with clean, warm water. This should remove most substances encountered during

the grilling process.

2. For stubborn stains, including burnt-on grease and food-borne deposits, use a multipurpose, non-abrasive,

cream cleanser and apply with a soft damp cloth. Rinse with fresh water, as described above. On no

account should steel wool pads be used unless they are made of stainless steel.

USING YOUR GRILL

(continued)

3. Harsh abrasives and metallic scouring materials should not be used for cleaning stainless steel as they

will leave scratch marks in the surface and damage the appearance of the grill. Likewise, do not use wire

brushes, scrapers or contaminated scouring pads.

4. For those areas with a directional grain, any cleaning with abrasives should be carried out along this grain

direction and not across it.

5. After use, always remove wet cleaning aids (such as cloths, pads, containers) from the surface, to avoid

formation of water marks or stains.

6. If required, dry the grill after use with a soft dry cloth or towel.

If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your Aspire grill should offer excellent life and should live up

to its reputation of being “stainless”. Neglect of this practice, however, can lead to deterioration of the

surface and, in some extreme cases, corrosion of the steel itself. The two most common types of corrosion

that may be encountered, particularly on stainless steel, are rust marks and pitting of the surface.

RUST-BROWN MARKS

RUST-BROWN MARKSRUST-BROWN MARKS

These rust marks are likely the result of small particles of “ordinary-steel” which have become attached

to the surface and have subsequently rusted in the damp environment. The most common source of such

particles is from steel wool scouring pads, but contamination may also occur from carbon steel utensils

and old water supply pipes. These brown marks are only superficial stains, which will not harm the grill.

They should be removable using a soft damp cloth and a multi-purpose, non-abrasive, cream cleanser.

Occasionally, it may be necessary to resort to a proprietary stainless steel cleanser to return the surface

of the grill to its original condition. To avoid re-occurrence of any “rust-staining”, it is essential that the

source of the contamination is eliminated. An Aspire grill cover will go a long way toward preventing this

kind of contamination.

PITTING

PITTINGPITTING

A more severe form of corrosion is pitting of the surface. The sources of this corrosive attack can usually

be attributed to certain household products such as bleach, household cleaners containing bleach (sodium

hypochlorite), and pool chlorine. If you see pitting of the stainless steel surface, you can attempt to buff it

out using stainless steel abrasive pads, but in most cases, pitting of the surface cannot be removed.

FOODSTUFFS

FOODSTUFFSFOODSTUFFS

In general, stainless steel is fully resistant to all foodstuffs in common use. Only in isolated cases, such

as when concentrated salt and vinegar mixtures are allowed to remain in contact with the steel for a

prolonged period, can any surface marking result. Clean the surface as per instructions above.

Exposure to salt air and spray may cause surface rust or staining to appear. If neglected, pitting and severe

corrosion on various parts of your grill will occur. Clean the surfaces as per instructions above on a more

frequent basis, perhaps every week or every other week, and maintain the unit covered.

The Hestan warranty does not cover occasional surface rust or staining due to environmental conditions.

See warranty section for details.

CARE OF PAINTED SURFACES (IF APPLICABLE)

Aspire grills are available in standard stainless steel, or 8 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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

(continued)

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.

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 TR

DRIP TRA

YDRIP 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

GRILL BURNERSGRILL BURNERS

The briquette radiant trays should protect the U-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 page 9 of this manual for details on proper burner installation.

ROTISSERIE BURNER CLEANING

ROTISSERIE BURNER CLEANINGROTISSERIE BURNER CLEANING

It should not be necessary to clean the Rotisserie Burner, 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:

NOTICE: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.

SEAR BURNER CLEANING

SEAR BURNER CLEANINGSEAR BURNER CLEANING

When used correctly, it should not be necessary to clean Infrared Sear Burners. The hot screen and tiles

vaporize anything that falls on them. However, if food debris or drippings were 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:

NOTICE: 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

ORIFICE CLEANINGORIFICE 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

IGNITERSIGNITERS

The hot-surface igniters on your Aspire grill do not require any maintenance and are well protected from

debris falling on them.

NOTE:

NOTE:NOTE: Rough handling of the igniter can crack the ceramic body, causing it to fail. Handle with care.

AYSCLEANING 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.

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENTLIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the power to your grill before any service or light bulb replacement. Be sure the grill and the

lights are completely cool. Halogen lights get extremely hot.

2. Open hood and remove the small screw holding the lamp assembly in place (Fig. 10). Remove the lamp

assembly, being careful not to drop the glass lens.

3. If needed, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to carefully pry off the lens and set aside. Loosen the 2

screws closest to the lamp housing (Fig. 11). These screws hold the bulb in place. The bulb should come

out easily. The bulb is a 20W halogen “Bi-Pin” type, available at most hardware stores & home centers.

4. Before installation, it is very important to clean the new bulb carefully with a clean, soft cloth, or tissue

paper. Grease, fingerprints, or oils in your skin can leave a residue on the glass surface of the bulb which

will create a hot-spot. The bulb will eventually crack at this hot-spot.

5. While still using a cloth or tissue paper, install the new bulb in the housing and tighten the screws.

Check that the other tiny screws are tight as well.

6. Re-install the lens and return the lamp assembly to the hood. Carefully install the screw to secure the

assembly to the grill.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDER

ATIONS

TIONS

TIONSADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Always keep the area around the grill free of obstructions and debris. Maintain at least 12” [30 cm] of

space around the grill to ensure proper airflow, and keep all ventilation openings clear and free of debris.

Clean the appliance after each use, and check for blockages, especially at the burner orifices, after periods

of prolonged non-use. To maintain the appearance of your Aspire grill for many years, keep it covered

when not in use. Backyard environments are harsh on your grills’ finish. Long exposure to sun, water, yard

chemicals and the elements could diminish the appearance of the stainless steel. This is very evident in

ocean-front locations.

Our appliance materials have been tested in saline solutions with higher salinity than seawater. They

have also been tested by exposure to highly acidic foods. During and after these tests, we found these

materials were able to withstand exposure over prolonged periods of time. However, the above-mentioned

corrosive substances, along with neglect, can lead to a situation whereby conditions might combine to

cause some damage to occur. Therefore, we suggest that you always keep your grill clean, dry and covered

when not in use. This is even more important when long term storage is required. Always store the grill

clean, dry and covered with your Aspire grill cover. A dirty grill will attract insects and rodents which is

highly unsanitary. In addition, rodents are known to chew on the insulation of wiring which will cause

permanent damage to the wiring and possibly electrical components.

For those in desert communities, wind-driven sand is highly abrasive and constant exposure will eventually

pit and scratch the surface. Another reason to keep your grill covered when not in use.
