Safety and Installation Instructions
Location of your Barbecue
Most importantly, this is an outdoor appliance. Ensure your barbecue is positioned
safely away from anything that can catch fire.
Under no circumstance is this barbecue to be used indoors. This includes garages or
any other enclosed area.
Clearance from Combustibles: Ensure your barbecue remains at a distance of at least 18”
from any combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Do not store
combustible materials, gasoline or flammable liquids or vapors within 18” of the barbecue.
Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the barbecue and
cylinder. This is required not only for proper combustion, but also to prevent gas build up.
Firm Level Surface: Use your barbecue only on a firm level surface. This barbecue is not
designed for recreational vehicles, and should not be installed on a boat or marine craft.
Protection from Weather: Keep the barbecue protected from adverse weather, including rain
and high winds. Polyvinyl covers are available that have been specially designed for this
range of barbecues.
Allow clear access to the entire gas supply hose and regulator.

Blaze Grills by Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book
7
Maintenance Access: When your barbecue is installed, 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.
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. The gas safety authorities have agreed on the definition of partial enclosures
below.
IMPORTANT: Consult the AHJ or local contractor of any uncertainty.
Safety and Installation Warnings
Please read all instructions before installing or operating your gas grill to prevent injury and
appliance damage.
All gas grills will get hot during use. Use extreme caution when operating the grill.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use the handle to open or close the grill.
Close supervision is necessary when this or any appliance is used near children. Keep
children away from the grill during operation and until the grill has cooled off.
Do not store any LP cylinder or tank not connected for use with the grill, in the area of this grill
or any other appliance. Never store an LP cylinder or tank indoors, or within the reach of

Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces and
dripping grease.
Do not twist the gas supply hose.
Before each use, visually inspect the gas supply hose for cracks, cuts or excessive wear.
Replace the hose if necessary.
Never test the grill for gas leaks using a lighted match or any other open flame; see leak test
procedures using soap/water solutions - included in following pages of this manual.
The use of accessories, regulators, or components not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries and will void warranty.
Never light the grill with the hood closed and be certain that the burners are positioned and
seated over the gas valves and on the burner support.
Never lean over the cooking surface when lighting or operating the grill.
Use barbecue tools with wood handles and insulated oven mitts when operating the grill.
Gas Specifications: Be sure that the gas supplied to the grill conforms to the model you
purchased. A Natural Gas grill requires natural gas to operate; an LP grill requires liquid
propane gas to operate.
Check the rating label on the left hand side of the unit.
Never connect the appliance to an unregulated gas supply line. Grills operated without a
regulator are unsafe and will not be serviced until installed properly and safely. Unsafe
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 or Liquid Propane
operation. Please contact your dealer and use a licensed contractor or installer to convert
your grill to a 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

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.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap
to one part water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.

Turn on the gas
On Natural Gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the grill.
On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas delivery system.
Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak is present.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is
damaged. The cylinder must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off the
gas supply to the grill and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and
turning any of the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the grill.
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.

LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:
-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.
-when not in use, the tank shut off valve should be turned off.
Filling and Refilling LP Gas Cylinders:
WARNING
All purging and refilling of LP gas cylinders must be performed by qualified personnel
in the LP gas industry. Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this
appliance.
Never fill the LP gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in explosion, personal injury or death.
- 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. Call the Fire Department immediately.
If your grill has no leak at the cylinder, then re-check for loose connections and retest for
leaks using the method detailed in the following pages with soapy solution.
Do not subject your LP gas cylinder to excessive heat, and always store the cylinder in an
upright position. Never store your LP cylinders indoors.
Make sure that when attaching components, all connections are secured and fully tightened
to prevent leakage.
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 grills are not in use.

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 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").
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.
