safely away from \ anything that can catch fire.
Under no circumstance is this appliance to be used indoors. This includes garages or any other enclosed
area.
This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not approved to be installed in or on any recreational vehicles and /
or boats. Blaze appliances are for single family/residential use only.
 When determining a suitable location take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to
traffic paths and keeping any gas supply lines as short as possible. Do notstore combustible materials,
gasoline or flammable liquids orvapors around the appliance.
 This Blaze oven must be located outdoors only. As with any gas appliance, harmful carbonmonoxide 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 oven while in operation, covered locations should be
avoided. Do not locate the Blaze oven 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 fuel supply hoses away from any heated surfaces and/or sharp,
aggressive edges.
Non-Combustible Enclosure:
The Blaze oven 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 atadistance ofat least 14” from sides and
5” from back from any combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Donot store
combustible materials, gasoline orflammable liquids orvapors around the appliance. The outdoor
kitchen structure itself should be constructed completely out ofnon-combustible materials.
 Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the appliance, oven cart and/or
island cavity. This is required notonly for proper combustion, but also toprevent gas build up. While the
amount of venting required varies on a case bycase basis, consult with your local licensed professional
and local code for adequate venting requirements. Keep the ventilation openings ofthe enclosure free
and clear from any debris.
 Firm Level Surface: Use your appliance only on a firm level surface. This appliance is not designed for
recreational vehicles, and should not be installed on a boat or marine craft.
 Protection from Weather: Keep the appliance protected from adverse weather, including rain and winds.
