operation without a gas regulator will void warranty of the grill.
Grills operated with NG (natural gas) gas must be installed with the NG regulator supplied
with the unit and set to 4.0" water column pressure.
Grills operated with LP (liquid propane) gas must be installed with an LP regulator not
supplied with the unit and set to 11" water column pressure.
The gas valves used in the grills are preset at the factory for Natural Gas operation. Please
contact your dealer and use a licensed contractor or installer to convert your grill to the
different gas type.
The self-contained LP system barbeque grill is design certified to be used with a standard 20
lb., 12 1/4" diameter; 18" high cylinder with right handed connection threads and this is the
maximum size LP tank to be used. The cylinder must be marked in accordance with the latest
U.S. Department of Transportation specifications for LP gas cylinders. (DOT. CFR49 or
National Standards of Canada CAN/CSA-B359 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods) a Propane Tank with an ODP) Overfill Prevention
Device) must be used at all times.
Natural Gas Requirements
Always check the Rating Plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas
type the grill is manufactured for.
IMPORTANT: Never connect the grill to an unregulated gas supply.
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or in the absence of local
codes, to the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998. Installation in Canada must be in
accordance with the standard CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation Code.
A licensed contractor or local gas company representative must perform all natural gas
connections.
Ensure that the service supplying the grill is fitted with a shut off valve conveniently positioned

kPa).
Connection
Slide the grill forward to gain access to the regulator and gas connection point in the rear.
Connect a suitable natural gas flex connector to the grill regulator.
Check the grill controls to ensure all control valves are in the full OFF position.
Turn on the main gas supply and check all connections for leaks using soapy water as
described in the leak testing procedure section.
Warning: If you see bubbles in the soapy solution at any of the connections, turn off
the gas supply and tighten the connection. If tightening the connection does not seal
the leak, it may be necessary to replace the flex hose.
Checking for Gas Leaks
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder has been
disconnected or not. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or
whenever any part of the gas system is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your grill outdoors in a well-ventilated
area. Never smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not
use a flame, such as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.

Installing the Grill in a BBQ Island
You will need a second person to help you avoid damaging the grill or your barbecue
island.
Before installing a grill in any island or cut out, make sure that the opening is not bigger than
the outside frame of the grill unit. The grill 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 and should make as few bends as possible.
Check to see if the gas line connection will be accessible when grill is installed.
If the gas line connection is not easily accessible when the grill is installed, support the grill
above counter level and attach the gas line to the grill. When the gas connection is made,
slide the grill into the cut out. If the gas line connection is accessible when the grill installed,
slide the grill into the cut out and then attach the gas line.
Be very careful not to kink the gas line when lowering the grill into the cut out.
Keep your fingers away from where the grill will be supported on counter. Your fingers could
become trapped and serious injury could occur.
Check to make sure the grill is level and is supported around the entire outside edge. If the
grill is not level 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.

Safety and Installation Instructions
UNIT INSTALLATION:
Your Blaze Series Grill comes pre-assembled and requires very little setup. We do however;
recommend the use of professional help during the installation of your unit as improper
installation may affect your warranty.
Remove the unit from the box along with all accessories and check that no damage has
occurred to the unit or any parts.
Burners: Check the burner tubes and remove any obstructions that may be in the ports or
holes. Using cold water and a brush will be sufficient. Make sure all foreign particles are
removed from the burner before use. Make sure the air shutter on the burners is slightly
opened (to about 1/8" for NG and 1/4" for LP).
WARNING
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 then secure with the cotter pin at the rear of the barbecue.
Version 1.0
Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book

Lighting Instructions
Caution: Never operate the grill unattended.
Prior to using your grill, verify that all of the following is correct:
The burner tube is free of any debris or obstruction.
Installation of the proper gas type and regulator settings.
The proper gas connection is complete.
Minimum clearances are maintained.
All packaging has been removed.
All parts and components are properly in place.
An installer-supplied manual gas shut-off valve is fully accessible.
LP hose is clean and inspected for cuts, wear, abrasion, or leaks. Replace if
necessary with a suitable UL, ETL or CSA Listed part with internally threaded connector.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
Become familiar with the safety instructions at the front of this manual. Do not smoke
while lighting the grill or checking the gas supply connections.
Make sure that all gas connections are securely tightened and have been leak-tested
with a soapy water solution - never with a flame!
FIRST TIME OPERATION
Before cooking with your grill for the first time, burn off any foreign matter and rid the unit of
any odors by burning the unit on HIGH with the lid down for about 10 minutes. When lit, the
flame should have a bluish color to it. It may have a tint of yellow and adjustment to the air
shutters can be made to obtain a blue flame and proper gas glow. This grill should be
preheated with the main burner control settings on HIGH for five minutes with the hood
closed.
Version 1.0
Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book
Page | 21
Page 22
Lighting the Grill
1. Open the hood.
2. Use caution when lighting burners by standing as far away from the burners as possible.
3. To ignite burners, push the burner knob in and slowly rotate counter-clockwise to the high
position.
4. You will hear a loud click as the electronic lighter produces a spark. Listen for the sound
of the gas igniting and look for a flame through the cooking grids. If the burner does not
light on the first try, repeat immediately.
5. If the burner does not light in 5 seconds then wait five minutes until the gas clears before
attempting to light it again. Repeat the procedure or try the manual lighting procedure
below.
6. Upon successful lighting, repeat the process on the other burners you wish to light.
7. To shut off the burners, rotate the knob and turn to OFF.
8. It is normal to hear a popping sound when the burners are turned off.
Manually Lighting the Grill
WARNING: Do not use standard matches or cigarette lighters to perform match-lighting
procedures. Serious burns can occur and lighters can explode.
1. Open the hood.
2. If you have just attempted to light the burner, allow five minutes for any accumulated gas
to dissipate.
3. Use caution by standing as far away from the burners as possible.
4. Light and insert a long stem match, holding it near the Lighting Tube.
Version 1.0
Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book
Page | 22
Page 23
5. Push in and turn the control knob to HIGH.
6. If the burner does not light after five seconds, turn the control knobs to the OFF position.
7. Wait five minutes until the gas clears before attempting to light it again.
8. If the burner does not light after several attempts, immediately close all gas valves and
consult an authorized service technician.
WARNING: “Flashback” may occur in or around the burner tubes. Flashback exhibits a
characteristic “whooshing” sound. If this should occur, immediately turn off your burners,
then remove and clean them with soap and water and a brush until all foreign objects are
removed.
Fuel Conversion – Gas Regulator:
Currently all grills are supplied with a regulator set at 4” of water column pressure which is
appropriate for use with Natural Gas.
When converting to Propane Gas, the most common Propane canister used is a smaller sized
portable canister (typically 5 gallons or 20 pounds).
The pre-installed regulator will need to be removed and replaced with a low pressure hose
and regulator with an outbound pressure set to approximately 11" of water column pressure. If
an individual is intending on using Propane provided from a larger tank permanently installed
on location, the regulator included with the grill can be converted for use with LP fuel (see
NG-LP Regulator Conversion below).
Please be aware that this included regulator can only withstand an inbound pressure of .5 PSI
or roughly 14 inches of water column pressure. Any higher pressure on location will have to
be further regulated before connecting to the regulator on the appliance. Please consult your
local Propane gas provider to confirm the gas pressure on the supply line feeding the grill.
With either setup, remember to always check for gas leaks after the job is complete (see
checking for gas leaks).

Fuel (Gas) Conversion Instructions for BLAZE Gas grills.
CAUTION: This should only by performed by a licensed gas professional.
FUEL CONVERSION - Main Burners:
1. You must remove all cooking grids and flame tamers to expose the main burners in the
grill.
2. On the bottom rear of each burner is a cotter pin. Remove cotter pin.
3. To remove burner, pull rod upwards and slide burner toward the rear of the grill. Repeat
for each burner.
4. Where the burner was previously located, connecting to the main valve 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 grill), with an orifice
(brass fitting), screwed into the end of the valve stem.
6. Carefully remove the orifice with a 7mm 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 orifice, do not over tighten or you will strip the brass fitting. Little
pressure is needed!!!
8. Replace burners and test for proper flame height. Flame should stand between ½” - 1” on
LOW and 1.5” - 2” on HIGH. (To adjust the LOW flame setting simply light the grill on the
LOW setting and adjust the screw located under the knob on the front of the valve using a
flat head screwdriver as seen in the diagram below.)
9. Inspect burners for proper flame appearance. The ideal flame appearance is one that is
mostly blue and 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 grill 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 removing the fitting. Replace with the provided conversion back
burner orifice – large brass fitting (differs from small BBQ burner orifice).
Optional Infrared Sear Burner
How to Replace Conventional Burner with Infrared Sear Burner
1. To install the optional infrared burner, begin by removing the far left cooking grid, flame
stabilizing grid and zone divider.
2. Remove conventional burner by first removing the cotter pin that holds it in place,
located on the bottom rear of the burner. With the cotter pin removed, remove the
conventional burner.
3. Remove crossfire by removing the Phillips head screw in the middle that holds it in
place. With the crossfire removed, place the infrared burner in place, leaving off the
crossfire and flame tamer.
4. Replace the heat zone divider and cooking grid.
Note: It is critical that the end of the infrared burner is installed appropriately onto the gas
valve to ensure gas flows safely into the burner.

Preheating the Infrared Burner
Always preheat the entire grill before cooking. If the grill is already hot from cooking, you
should still preheat the infrared burner for 3 minutes. Never place food over the burner until it
is fully preheated to avoid clogging the tiny ports and damaging the burner from grease
drippings and food particles.
Infrared Burner Cleaning
To keep your infrared burner operating at maximum performance after each use, turn it on

HIGH for 5-7 minutes with the hood open. This allows any food particles or grease drippings
to burn away. Once your grill has cooled completely, use a soft brush or vacuum to remove
any ash accumulation on the burner if necessary.
Cleaning Your Grill
NOTE: You should clean your grill after each use to maintain the overall appearance over the
life of your grill. After the first use, it is normal for your grill to become discolored in certain
areas from the heat produced by the burners.
Exterior Cleaning
When cleaning your grill, always scrub and polish in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
Wipe down the exterior of the grill to remove any splatter or grease. Do not use harsh
abrasives. Use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the exterior surface for a polished look. To
remove baked-on foods, use a fine to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad with a stainless
steel cleaner to avoid specks of grease collecting in the grain causing the appearance of rust.
Before installing the cover, always allow the surface to dry. DO NOT cover a damp grill.
Drip Tray
Clean the drip try after each use. Once the grill has cooled completely, remove the tray by
pulling it all the way out until it comes free. Clean the tray with hot soapy water and re-install.
If using an oven cleaning agent, be sure to carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions to
avoid damage to the stainless steel.
Heat Separators, Grilling and Warming Racks
To clean after each use, turn the grill on HIGH for 5-7 minutes with the hood closed. This
allows any food particles or grease drippings to burn away. Brush components to remove any
remaining charred materials.
Cast Stainless Steel Burners
The grill must be completely cooled before proceeding. Make sure the gas supply is off and
all control knobs are in the “OFF” position. You must remove all cooking grids and flame
tamers to expose the main burners in the grill. On the bottom rear of each burner is a cotter
pin. Remove cotter pin. To remove burner, pull rod upwards and slide burner toward the rear
of the grill. Repeat for each burner. To clean the burners, use a wire brush to clean the
exterior of the burner. Free all clogged ports of obstructions with a small metal object. Clean

out any debris through the air shutter and inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is free of any
obstructions. Use a rod or pipe cleaner to remove any debris within the burner if necessary.
NOTE: Make sure each burner is properly placed after cleaning. It is very important to
ensure the end of the burner is installed appropriately onto the gas valve to ensure gas flows
safely into the burner. Failure to meet these conditions can cause dangerous conditions that
can cause personal injury and/or property damage.
