Please read this manual carefully and before using your BLAZE GRILL to ensure proper operation, installation, servicing and to reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard and or other injury. This manual should be retained for your information NOTE: Improper installation and service or maintenance may cause property damage, injury or death.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, read and follow these basic precautions before installing/operating your appliance. 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 Z223.1 and storage and handling of liquefied petroleum gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 or CSA B149.1 natural gas and propane installation code.
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.
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).
Gas Safety and Installation Warnings • All gas connections should be made by a Professional qualified technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane Installation Code.
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. IMPORTANT: Never connect the appliance to an unregulated gas supply.
Checking for Gas Leaks Perform a leak test before each use. 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 appliance 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.
Leak Testing All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service along with before each use. The following diagram is for informational purposes only. These locations are not the only points to check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present. Ensure the leak test includes all valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the burners.
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. Please also save the packaging material the product came with as that is at times inspected by the shipping carrier.
use with LP gas only. The regulator and hose supplied must be used with a 20 lb. LP cylinder. A collar to protect the cylinder threads on the customer supplied tank. An arrangement for gas vapor withdrawal. A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder. A method of mounting.
Always check for leaks before every use. If one is not already available, it is recommended that an ON-OFF shutoff valve be installed at the gas supply source, and that the gas supply be turned off when either Natural Gas or LP Gas appliances are not in use. Transporting and Storing LP Gas Transport only one cylinder at a time. Ensure the cylinder is secured in an upright position with the control valve turned off and the dust cap in place. Store cylinders outdoors and out of the reach of children.
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 SPECIFICATIONS ALL GAS CONNECTION POINTS SHOULD BE TESTED FOR LEAKS AFTER INSTALLATION PRIOR TO FIRST USE OF THE GAS APPLIANCE(S).
If the main burner cotter pins are removed before installing, the main burners must be double checked for the correct placement in the grill before operation. When finished ensure that the burners are 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 ensuring the male post on the rear of the burner rests in the corresponding slot in the grill chassis.
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.

It is normal to hear a popping sound when the burners are turned off. 9. Close the valve at the gas supply. Manually Lighting the Main Burners WARNING: Do not use standard size matches or cigarette lighters to perform match-lighting procedures. Serious burns can occur and lighters can explode. 1. Open the hood. 2.
“FLASHBACK” may occur in or around the burner tubes. Flashback exhibits a characteristic “whooshing/jet like” 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.
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. To adjust, remove the burner from the appliance and loosen the Philips head screw holding the air shutter to the burner. If the flame is yellow, open the air shutter to make the flame bluer.
carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damage to the stainless steel. Heat Separators, Flame Tamers, Grilling and Warming Racks To clean (should clean after each use), turn the main burners on HIGH for 10-15 minutes with the hood closed. This allows any food particles or grease drippings to burn away. Brush components with a stainless steel bristle brush to remove any remaining charred materials. Cast Stainless Steel Burners The appliance must be completely cooled before proceeding.
1. To install the optional infrared burner, begin by removing the far left cooking grid, flame stabilizing grid and zone divider. 2.
