LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Hestan Grills feature hot-surface igniters for all Trellis Burners ™ , and infrared Rotisserie and Sear
Burners. The hot-surface igniters feature a “time-extender” function which maintain the hot
glow of the igniter for a longer period of time to ensure successful lighting of the burners.
Note: The time extender feature applies to the main burners only, not the rotisserie.
If your grill is equipped with a Hestan Side Burner, it features a spark-ignition system with flame-
sensing technology which will relight the flame should it go out.
All burners can be manually lit should that become necessary.
CONTROL KNOB LAYOUT
Seen here is a typical layout (36” model shown, Fig. 6) for the control knobs. The rotisserie
control is always to the far left side. Control panel LED lights and rotisserie motor switches are
on the far right.
The lighting instructions for all burners are on the drip tray handle on the far left side of the grill.
LIGHTING GRILL BURNERS (Trellis Burner ™ or Sear Burner)
1. Read Use & Care Manual before lighting. Open lid during lighting. Stand as far away as
possible when lighting.
2. Push & hold selected knob for 5 seconds, then turn to “HIGH”. Burner should light. Once lit,
adjust flame as needed.
3. If burner does not light in 5 seconds, turn knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before
re-lighting.
4. If burner fails to light, see USE & CARE MANUAL for match lighting instructions.
LIGHTING ROTISSERIE BURNER
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 USE & CARE MANUAL for match lighting instructions.

LIGHTING SIDE BURNERS
1. Read Use & Care Manual before lighting. Remove cover during lighting.
2. Stand as far away as possible when lighting.
3. Push and turn selected knob to “HIGH” position. Igniter will spark until flame is established.
4. Once lit, turn knob to desired flame setting. If spark does not occur, check electrical supply.
5. If burner does not light in 5 seconds, turn knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before re-
lighting.
6. If burner fails to light, see USE & CARE MANUAL for match lighting instructions.
Note: The flame-sensing technology of the spark igniter will repeatedly spark (clicking sound)
until a flame is established. If you experience nuisance sparking during normal operation of
the burner, see the TROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual. A very low flame in windy
conditions is usually the cause of this nuisance sparking.
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 Hestan Grill
(see below Fig. 7).
Figure 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. Side burners can be lit in the same manner,
although a long match may not be needed.
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.
