SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN
(CONTINUED)
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
This appliance must be connected to a dedicated circuit, 240 VAC, Single Phase, 60 Hz, with a
current rating as shown in the model number listing on pg. 8. Have the installer show you where
the electric circuit breaker is located so you know how to shut off the power to this appliance. It is
the responsibility of the user to have the appliance connected by a licensed electrician in accordance
with all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Read the ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS section of the Installation Manual for complete details.
GAS SUPPLY
A gas shut-off valve must be located in an easily accessible location for servicing of the range. Make
sure all users of the range 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 be 11-14 inch WC [2.74-
3.48 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 range 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 RANGE AGAINST A COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE - THE ISLAND TRIM IS
NOT SUITABLE.
CAUTION
The top of the backguard serves as an exhaust for the oven when in operation, and as an exhaust vent
to remove heat from under the rangetop section of the range as well. 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.
