Installing the Appliance in a BBQ Island

NOTE: Check with City and Fire department for Local Building Codes. A Permit may be

required for outdoor kitchen construction.

You will need a second person to help you av oid damaging the appliance or your appliance island.

Ens ure all clearances to combustibles are maintained. See page 26
The is land must be mad e out of non-comb ustible material. In the event it is combus tible, the use of an



Protection from Weather: Keep the appliance protected from adverse
weather, including rain and wind. 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. A wind block behind the
grill may be necessary.

Outdoor Kitchen Ventilation

WARNING

Failure to adequately vent your outdoor

kitchen cavity could result in an explosion or

fire.

When building a gas grill into an outdoor kitchen, it is necessary to provide adequate ventilation for the
island cavity underneath. This is necessary for not only proper combustion, but also to prevent a buildup of
gas. While the amount of venting required for your island will vary due to the variety of differing local
codes, inner framework and design of an outdoor kitchen, the amount of gas products installed and their
locations, etc, all built in grill islands should be ventilated in some way. Your local contractor and/or your
local code authority can determine adequate ventilation for each installation. Stainless Steel vent panels
are available from your dealer to cover the island venting.

The following information is important to consider when adhering to your local code requirements.

LP/Propane Gas: LP gas is heavier than air and will settle to the lowest levels of the outdoor kitchen. It is
imperative to provide adequate cross ventilation for the areas where gas can accumulate at these lower
levels of the island cavity. Should the Propane cylinder be locate d in the outdoor kitchen itself, a plenum
wall is required to separate the gas source from the other areas of the outdoor kitchen (picture shown in

owner’s manual), and both the cabinets containing the gas appliances and the gas tank should be ventilated

appropriately

. If a plenum wall is undesirable, Blaze offers a Propane tank drawer as an alternative.

Blaze Ou tdoor Products Instructional Book

Page | 24

Version 1.6

NG/Natural Gas: Natural gas is lighter than air and will rise to the highest levels of the outdoor kitchen. It is
imperative to provide adequate cross ventilation for the areas where gas can accumulate at these higher
levels of the island cavity.

The following diagram shows a variety of examples of venting locations and configurations for an outdoor
kitchen. These are not the only possible options for venting but instead simply some examples of the more
common configurations found. Notice the middle set of vents being positioned lower on the island cavity
for LP gas.

Blaze Ou tdoor Products Instructional Book

Version 1.6

ALL GAS CONNECTION POINTS SHOULD BE TESTED FOR LEAKS AFTER INSTALLATION PRIOR

TO FIRST USE OF THE GAS APPLIANCE(S).

-Before installing an appliance in any island cut out, make sure that the opening is not bigger than the outside frame
of the appliance unit. The appliance should rest on the lip of the frame.

-Pay careful attention to the location of the gas line. It should be routed away from sources of heat, sharp edges
aggressive surfaces

and should make as few bends as possible. Ensure the gas line conn ection will be accessible

, and

when appliance is installed. A safety shutoff valve is required at this gas connection point.

-Before installing the grill into the island cutout, the main burner cotter pins may be remov ed for convenience of
service, adjustments, and maintenance in the future. These are accessible f rom the outsid e rear of the grill.

If the main burner c ot te r pi ns are remov ed be fore ins t alling, t he mai n burn e rs mus t be double che ck ed for
the correct placement in the grill before operation. When finished ensur e t hat t he burners are aligned with
the valve orifice and seated in the bracket slot. This is accompl ishe d by first placing the burner tube
shutter hole securely over the valve orifice and ensuring the m ale pos t on the rear of the burn e r re sts in t he
corres ponding slot in the gri ll c hass is. Failure to do so could result in a fire and injury.

If the outdoor kitchen countertop will ov erhang the face of the island, notching out the two front countertop edges will
be necessary to allow the grill to slide flush against the outer front wall to the outdoor kitchen. Due to differing personal
preferences of the size of the notch out, this is recommend ed to be done at the point of installation so that the
consumer can dictate their pref erence.

Slide the appliance into the cut

out and then attach the gas line.
Be very careful not to kink the gas line when lowering the appliance into the cut out.
Keep your fingers away from where the appliance will be supported on counter. Your fingers could become
trapped and serious injury could occur.
Check to make sure the appliance is level and is supported around the entire outside edge. If the appliance is
not lev el or is unstable, use non-combustible shims under the outside lip to stabilize it.
Perform the leak test procedure as described earlier in this manual.

CAUTION: This should only by performed by a licensed gas professional.

Main Burners:

1.

You must remov e all cooking grids and flame tamers to expose the main burners in the appliance.

2.

On the bottom rear of each burner is a cotter pin. Remov e cotter pin. (unless they were removed prior to

installation into an outdoor kitchen)

3.

To remove burner, pull rod upwards and slide burner toward the rear of the appliance. Repeat for each
burner.

4.

Where the burner was prev iously located, connecting to the main v alve through the hole in the basin should
now be empty space.

5.

Inside the space you will find the end of the valve (toward the front of appliance), with an orifice (brass
fitting), screwed into the end of the valve stem.

6.

Carefully remove the orifice with a 6mm socket set and extension. (These are extremely fragile! When
unscrewing, be extremely gentle, for you could easily break the brass fitting and have to replace the valve).

7.

Once the old orifice is removed, replace it with the new orifice, (repeat for all burners). When re-installing
the orifice, do not ov er tighten or you will strip the brass fitting. Little pressure is needed!!!

8.

Inspect burners for proper flame appearance. The ideal flame appearance is one that is mostly blue an d not
lifting off of the burner surface. There is an air shutter found at the end of the burner (close to the valve)
which can be either opened or closed to make adjustments to the flame's appearance. To adjust, remove
the burner from the appliance and loosen the phillips head screw holding the air shutter to the burner. If the
flame is yellow, open the air shutter to make the flame bluer. If the flame is lifting off of the burner surface,
slightly close the air shutter. Re-tighten the phillips head screw and re-install the burner to recheck the flame
appearance. Repeat if necessary.

Rear Burner

For the Blaze 4 & 5 Burner, replace the back burner orifice by removing the plate on the rear of the BBQ and
carefully remov ing the fitting. Replace with the prov ided conversion back burner orifice – large brass fitting (differs
from sm al l B BQ burner orifice).
