When using your Blaze appliance, please read and follow these basic precautions:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, read and follow these basic precautions before installing/operating your
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
appliance.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Chromium (hexavalent compounds), which are
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information
go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
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.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
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

Have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible at all times. Never attempt to extinguish a grease fire
BEWARE OF SPIDERS
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 which
could result in injury or death. Grills are not designed or intended for installation near a window or vent that goes into the
house.
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.
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 “FLASH-
BACK” it is the most common cause, and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.

may cause injuries and will void warranty.
• Never light the appliance with the hood closed and be certain that the burners are positioned and seated
over the gas valves and on the burner support.
• Never lean over the cooking surface when lighting or operating the appliance.
• Use cooking utensils with wood handles and insulated oven mitts when operating the appliance.
Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book
Page | 10
• Do not store anything in the appliance. Make sure food is not forgotten in the appliance; forgotten items
could melt or catch fire when the appliance is turned on.
• To prevent injuries, do not use accessories that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the rotisserie and "trip" the circuit breaker.
• Never use the appliance in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront,
mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Winds blowing into or across the back hood gap, can
cause poor performance and / or cause the control panel and knobs to get dangerously hot.
• Always open the appliance hood carefully, using only the handle - the hood may be hot.
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where any appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to touch, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the appliance or in the appliance. Children
climbing on the appliance to reach these items could be seriously injured.
• Wear proper clothing when operating this appliance. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
•
Do not use water on grease fires! A violent steam explosion may result. Instead, smother the fire with a
multipurpose ABC extinguisher.
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. 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.
Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book
Page | 11
•
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 material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Do not store
combustible materials, 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.
• 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 Blaze appliances must not be 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 grill must be covered with a vent
hood larger than the cooking area of the grill, and with a minimum of 1200 CFM for proper outdoor
application.
