APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
This gas appliance must be installed in accordance with all local codes.
If installation is planned in an area with no local codes, the gas appliance must be installed in accord with the
National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and storage and handling of liquefied petroleum gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 or
CSA
B149.1 natural gas and propane installation code.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the list of substances which are
known
by
the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to
warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate
the unit according to the use and care manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage. Read the installation, operating and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing
this equipment.
Do not use the appliance as storage area for flammable materials. Keep area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
In Massachusetts: All gas products must be installed using a “Massachusetts” licensed plumber or gasfitter. A
“T” handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to this appliance. This applies to
permanently installed natural gas and propane installations.

Have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible at all times. Never attempt to extinguish a grease fire
with water or other liquids.
IMPORTANT: Consult the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) or local contractor of any uncertainty.
This unit is for outdoor use only!
Do not operate in a building, garage or any other enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide buildup
could result in injury or death.
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 e ns ur ing t h e 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.
BEWARE OF SPIDERS
CAUTION: BURNER TUBES MUST BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE EACH USE.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which
could 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
appliance and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “FLASHBACK” it is the most common cause, and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.

FOR YOUR SAFETY
NOTE: Check with City and Fire department for Local Building Codes. A Permit may be
required for outdoor kitchen construction.
Do not attempt to heat unopened containers on the grill as pressure may build up and cause the container to explode.
Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill.
Never cook without the drip pan in place.
Never operate this grill while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Location of Appliance
Most importantly, this is an outdoor appli ance. 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.
Please note since hot air rises above the BLAZE GRILL while in operation, covered

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 the fuel supply hoses away from any heated surfaces and/or sharp and
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
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,
structure itself should be constructed completely out of non-combustible materials. This outdoor cooking
gas appliance shall not be located under overhead construction.
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
combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Do not store
gasoline or flammable liquids or vapors around the appliance. The outdoor kitchen
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 fr om 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 under overhead construction.
Please read all instructions before installing or operating your gas appliance to prevent injury and
damage.
