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 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.
