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.
In Massachusetts: All gas products must be installed using a “Massachusetts” licensed plumber or gasfitter. A “T” handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to this appliance. This applies to permanently installed natural gas and propane installations. This does not apply to propane portable installations using a 20 pound tank. Have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible at all times. Never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids.
FOR YOUR SAFETY NOTE: Check with City and Fire department for Local Building Codes. A Permit may be required for outdoor kitchen construction. Do not attempt to heat unopened containers on the grill as pressure may build up and cause the container to explode. Never use charcoal or any other solid fuel in the grill. Never cook without the drip pan in place. Never operate this grill while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
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.
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 18” from sides & 18” from back from any combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants.
Electrical Safety and Installation Warnings Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used: The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance The cord should be arranged so that it will not touch hot surfaces, sharp edges or drape over the countertop or tabletop (where it can be pulled or tripped over unintentionally).
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with applicable codes. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective grounding system.
unit and set to 4.0" water column pressure. • Appliances operated with LP (liquid propane) gas must be installed with an LP regulator set to 11" water column pressure. • Please contact your dealer and use a licensed contractor or installer to convert your appliance to the different gas type. • CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY HOSE DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY HOT SURFACE, SHARP OR ROUGH EDGES OF THE GRILL OR OUTDOOR KITCHEN CONSTRUCTION. DO NOT KINK THE GAS LINE WHEN INSTALLING.
COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION AND BODILY HARM. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST. Any Open Flame will ignite the gas. To prevent fire or explosion hazard, Perform leak test outdoors only. Check to ensure that flexible hoses do not have any cuts and wear that may affect the safety before each use. Only the factory supplied hose and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator and hose assemblies specified by BLAZE OUTDOOR PRODUCTS.
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer. Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected. The below diagram is intended to show what a leaking connection would look like. These two locations are not the only points to check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present. Leak Testing All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service along with before each use. .
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. UNPACKING UNIT: Product Inspection: A final inspection of your product occurs at the factory to ensure a quality product is packaged. Please re-check for possible shipping damage immediately after unpacking your grill. If the appliance is found to have some damage, contact your dealer immediately as often the shipping carrier will have a timeframe to report damage.
Gas Connections Natural Gas Requirements Connect a suitable natural gas flex connector to the grill regulator located on the rear right corner of the appliance. It is recommended to use a flex connector with a minimum of a ½” diameter or larger. Sealing all non-flared fittings with thread sealant or Teflon tape. Ensure the flex connector is protected from sharp edges, heat, aggressive surfaces, and kinking.
Filling and Refilling LP Gas Cylinders: Turn control knobs and cylinder valve to the OFF position. Unscrew valve. Remove cylinder and have it filled at your local qualified propane dealer. Once filled, carefully connect the valve and make sure it is secure and not leaking. With the control knobs in the OFF position, turn on the cylinder valve. If you smell gas or hear a hiss of gas escaping from the tank, get away from the tank and do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
Procedure for LP Gas Cylinder Connection (20 lbs) 1. Turn the “Hand Wheel” on cylinder clockwise until it stops to ensure the Cylinder Valve is fully closed. 2. Turn all of the burner knobs to the OFF position. 3. Connect the 3/8” Flare end of the hose to the 3/8” Flare end of the brass coupling on the unit using a 3/4” open wrench. Do not apply pipe sealant. (These are flared fittings).
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 avoid damaging the appliance or your appliance island. Ensure all clearances to combustibles are maintained. See page 26 The island must be made out of non-combustible material. In the event it is combustible, the use of an insulation jacket is REQUIRED.
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.
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. BUILDING BBQ INSTRUCTIONS ALL GAS CONNECTION POINTS SHOULD BE TESTED FOR LEAKS AFTER INSTALLATION PRIOR TO FIRST USE OF THE GAS APPLIANCE(S).
Pay careful attention to the location of the gas line. It should be routed away from sources of heat, sharp edges, and aggressive surfaces and should make as few bends as possible. Ensure the gas line connection will be accessible 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 removed for convenience of service, adjustments, and maintenance in the future.
BUILDING BBQ SPECIFICATIONS *Ensure your island cavity is adequately vented. Number of vents shown in diagram is for informational purposes only. *Consult your local licensed professional for adequate requirements. *Ensure your outdoor kitchen is constructed out of non-combustible materials *If your outdoor kitchen is constructed of combustible materials, an insulated jacket is REQUIRED ALL BBQ ISLANDS MUST BE MANUFACTURED FROM “NON-COMBUSTIBLE” MATERIAL.

FIRST TIME OPERATION - Caution: Caution: Never operate the appliance unattended. The surface is extremely hot and someone can touch the hot surface and get seriously burned. All gas appliances should be attended at all times. Prior to using your appliance, 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. Check for gas leaks.
5. If the burner does not light in 5 seconds, turn the burners off and wait five minutes until the gas clears before attempting to light it again. Repeat the procedure or try the manual lighting procedure below. 6. If the burner does not light after several attempts, immediately close all gas valves and consult an authorized service technician. 7. Upon successful lighting, repeat the process on the other burners you wish to light. 8. To shut off the burners, rotate the knob and turn to OFF.
“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, water and a brush until all foreign objects are removed. Before cooking with your appliance for the first time, burn off any foreign matter and rid the unit of any odors by burning the main burners only on HIGH with the lid down for about 10 minutes.
c. With the cooking grids and flame tamers removed, light the main burners and run them on the high setting. d. 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.
Drip Tray Clean the drip tray after each use. Failure to do so could result in a fire. Once the appliance 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.
