•
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.
•
Non-Combustible Enclosure: The BLAZE GRILL must be operated or installed on a NON-
COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE 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 36” from sides
& 36” 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 the appliance. 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 a local licensed professional and local code for adequate venting requirements.
•
Firm Level Surface: Use your appliance only on a firm level surface.
•
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 in use, 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.
•
Using Under Overhead Construction: The following steps MUST be taken to safely use your Blaze
appliance under overhead construction.
o
A minimum 6ft of clearance is required between the cooking surface and the overhead construction.
o
When installing under a combustible overhead construction, the area above the grill must be covered
