SAFETY NOTICE
IF THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE YOUR NEW
APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY or DEATH.
CAUTIONS:
NEVER vent the appliance to other rooms or buildings. The appliance must be vented ONLY to the outside.
NEVER burn the appliance with the viewing door open.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER:
Every home should have at least one fire extinguisher. An approved "Class A-B-C" extinguisher should be mounted on the wall near an
exit and close to the appliance, but not so close that accessibility to the extinguisher could be blocked by a fire. Your local fire
department can advise you concerning the most appropriate location.
BUILDING AND FIRE CODES, PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS:
The installation of this gas appliance must comply with your local building and fire codes. Always contact you local Building Inspector
and/or Fire Department before beginning the installation process. If required, obtain a permit before installation and have the completed
installation inspected. Remember that not complying with building and/or fire codes may jeopardize your homeowner's insurance.
CHILDREN:
Do Not Allow Children to play near the appliance or with the controls. Severe burns may be inflicted by touching the door or glass, the
front, sides or top of the appliance. Train children to stay away from the appliance, and never leave the children unattended in the room
when the appliance is in operation.
SMOKE and CO-DETECTORS:
Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home to ensure your safety. It should be located away from the gas appliance
and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturers' placement installation and maintenance instructions. You
local Fire Department may provide assistance in selecting smoke detectors and CO-detectors. It is strongly recommended, for your
families protection, that a CO-detector be placed in all homes that utilize gas in any form. In the U.S.A. contact the Consumer Product
Safety Commission in Washington, D.C. 20207 for additional information.
THE APPLIANCE AREA MUST BE KEPT CLEAR FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS GASOLINE AND OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
NOTICE - COLD WEATHER OPERATION
WARNING - OPERATION OF YOUR PEGASUS GAS STOVE WITH ICE OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE VENT SYSTEM IS
DANGEROUS. DO NOT OPERATE THE GAS APPLIANCE UNLESS YOU ARE SURE THE VENT SYSTEM IS CLEAR.
When using any gas appliance (LPG or NAT GAS) water is a byproduct of the combustion process. Depending on several factors, the
amount of water varies slightly. In general terms, an appliance which is rated at 40,000 BTU per hour will produce approximately 2 liters
of water, in a vapor form, every hour. That’s a considerable amount of water which has to be dealt with. Under normal conditions this
water is expelled into the atmosphere via the vent system as a warm vapor and does not cause a problem. In very cold weather,
however, the vapor will condense and freeze on any exposed surface it comes in contact with. This can cause serious problems,
particularly in “Direct Vent” appliances because the exhaust is normally only a few inches from the outside wall surface which normally
extends upward from the vent cap. Moisture laden vapors which are exhausted, normally tend to rise and can cause serious buildup of
frost and ice on surrounding surfaces. What happens to the moisture after it leaves the vent cap cannot be controlled by the
manufacturer; it is far more dependent upon wind conditions etc. To exhaust the gases further out from the wall is sometimes, but not
always, an advantage. Too much extension on the vent system presents other design problems, we must also consider the possibility
of ice falling from eaves above. It is therefore the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure that there is no excessive ice buildup during
operation.
Problems are most severe when there is no wind or when the prevailing wind drives the exhaust gases back against the surfaces nearby.
Cap design cannot control the movement of the vapors after they exit the system. Under extremely cold conditions the vent cap itself can
become so cold that the vapors condense and cause ice or frost buildup on the vent cap. Severe icing of the cap system can affect the
operation and safety of the appliance.
CAUTIONS- When operating your Pegasus gas stove during cold weather you must frequently check the exhaust cap to ensure it is
clear of ice buildup. Blaze King is not responsible for any damages caused by external ice buildup.
If the combustion, flame pattern, startup or shut down characteristics of your stove change, it could be a sign of ice buildup in t;he vent
system. If this occurs notify your Blaze King Dealer. DO NOT operate your stove if there is excessive ice buildup on the vent cap.

covered. Failure due but not limited to, abuse, negligence, impact, fire, lightning, power failures and or surges,
rust and corrosion are not covered. Damage and or repairs to cabinets and all exterior components, remote
controls, and normal maintenance , related duct work, power surges, electrical spikes or electrical circuit
overloads, filters, knobs, glass, gaskets, block and tile etc., are not covered. Additional or unusual utility bills

These include but are not limited to, cleaning, adjustments of the customer controls and customer product
education. Labor, materials, expenses or equipment required to comply with the law and or regulations set forth
WHITE MINERAL DEPOSITS
One of the byproducts of the combustion process in a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a white
film on the ceramic glass in the viewing door. The composition of the deposit varies widely from location to
location and also from time to time in the same locations. You may have the problem for a time and then not
see it for many months when it will reappear in your area. It seems this is associated with the varying sulfur
content of the gas. We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass manufacturers and they cannot give us
a definitive answer to this problem. We have input from several dealers who have tried various cleaning
products with varying results. We can only make the following recommendations and cannot assure you of the
results in our particular case.
1) Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the buildup (white film), if the film is left for along period of
time to build up and bake on , it is much harder to remove and may become impossible to remove.
2) NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic, any abrasion of the surface has immediate effect to
lessen the strength of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner is best.
3) Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner and dry the glass with a soft dry cloth, preferably cotton only.
Most paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
4) Products which we have good reports from dealers are listed below, again we can not guarantee the
results.
a. WHITE OFF by RUTLAND (Highly recommended)
b. POLISH PLUS by KEL KEM
c. COOK TOP CLEAN CREME by ELCO
NOTE: This is a problem beyond BLAZE KINGS control and is not covered under warranty.
DOOR SEAL GASKET
The front door of your new Blaze King direct vent is gasketed and has been adjusted for a tight seal. As with
all direct vent appliances, a tight seal is necessary for maximum performance and proper venting of combustion
products. With usage the door gasket material may compress. The door may require periodic adjustment to
maintain a proper seal. The time to make this adjustment will vary depending upon individual hours of use, btu
settings, and frequency of opening and closing the door. Check the door on your appliance periodically, especially during the first 90 days of operation, to ensure it is sealing properly. Your Blaze King dealer/installer
should be contacted to properly adjust the door if required.
