the house.
which
For proper operation, burners must be aligned with the valve orifice and seated in the bracket slot. This is
accomplished by first placing the burner tube shutter hole securely over the valve orifice and ensuring the male post
on the rear of the burner rests in the opening in the grill chassis. Failure to do so could result in a fire and injury.
piders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which
ould result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to your
liance and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “FLASH-
CK” it is the most common cause, and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.

Location of Appliance
Most importantly, this is an outdoor appliance. Ensure your appliance is positioned safely away from
anything that can catch fire. Under no circumstance is this appliance to be used indoors. This includes
garages or any other enclosed area. This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not approved to be installed in
or on any recreational vehicles and /or boats. Blaze Grills are for single family/residential use only.
When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to
traffic paths and keeping any gas supply lines as short as possible.
Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or flammable liquids or vapors around the appliance.
This BLAZE GRILL must be located outdoors only. As with any gas appliance, harmful carbon
monoxide is produced during the combustion process that should not be allowed to accumulate in a
confined space.
locations should be avoided. Do not locate the BLAZE GRILL where an overhang or awning may cover it.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance.
Keep any electrical supply cords and fuel supply hoses away from any heated surfaces and/or sharp,
aggressive edges.
Non-Combustible Enclosure: The BLAZE GRILL must be installed in a NON-COMBUSTIBLE
ENCLOSURE ONLY. The determination of whether a location is combustible or non-combustible
Please note since hot air rises above the BLAZE GRILL while in operation, covered
construction is made by the local fire marshal, building inspector or the local safety authority having

jurisdiction.
Clearance from Combustibles: Ensure your appliance remains at a distance of at least 14” from sides
& 16” from back from any
combustible materials,
combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Do not store
gasoline or flammable liquids or vapors around the appliance. The outdoor kitchen
structure itself should be constructed completely out of non-combustible materials.
Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the appliance, grill cart and/or
island cavity. This is required not only for proper combustion, but also to prevent gas build up. While
the amount of venting required varies on a case by case basis, consult with your local licensed
professional and local code for adequate venting requirements. Keep the ventilation openings of the
enclosure free and clear from any debris.
Firm Level Surface: Use your appliance only on a firm level surface. This appliance is not designed for
recreational vehicles, and should not be installed on a boat or marine craft.
Protection from Weather: Keep the appliance protected from adverse weather, including rain and winds.
Wind, particularly coming into the rear of the grill, can affect the exhaust from escaping from the
grill. This can back up the heat behind the control panel potentially creating a gas leak, damage to
the product, and injury.
Maintenance Access: When your appliance is installed, you should be able to access the gas supply
line including the gas piping or hose, gas regulator, gas cylinder and any shut off valves. Allow clear
access to the entire gas supply hose and regulator.
Partial Enclosures: Many backyards have areas that are partially closed off, such as balconies and
pergolas. In some cases, it is hard to decide whether these partially enclosed areas should be classified as
indoor areas, particularly in terms of permanent (non-closable) ventilation. Consult the AHJ (Authority
Having Jurisdiction) or local contractor of any uncertainty. This outdoor cooking gas appliance shall not be
located in an indoor application.
When installing a Blaze Appliance under an overhead construction:
o A minimum 6 foot of clearance is required between the countertop and the overhead construction.
o When installed under a combustible overhead construction, the area above the Blaze appliance must
be covered with a vent hood. The vent hood must provide protection for the combustible overhead
construction.
o It is imperative a Blaze appliance is not installed under unprotected combustible overhead
construction.
o When installed under overhead non-combustible construction, a vent hood is still recommended. Gas
appliances produce a large amount of smoke. The covered area should be properly ventilated.
o When using a vent hood, the area above the cooking surface of the griddle must be covered with a
vent hood larger than the cooking area of the griddle, and with a minimum of 1200 CFM for proper
outdoor application.
