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.

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 burners are for single family/residential u se on ly.
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 burner 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 burner where an overhang or awning may cover
it.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance.
Please note since hot air rises above the BLAZE burner while in operation, covered
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 burner must be installed in a NON-COMBUSTIBLE
BLAZE Instructional Book
Page | 10
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 16” from sides
& 16” from back from any
combustible materials,
Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the appliance 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 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.

gasoline or flammable liquids or vapors around the appliance.
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.
