Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book

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. 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. This outdoor cooking gas appliance shall
not be located in an indoor application.
Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the appliance, grill cart and/or
island
cavity. 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 your local licensed professional and local code
for adequate venting requirements. Keep the ventilation openings of the 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. 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 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. 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. This outdoor cooking gas appliance shall not be located under overhead construction.
When installing a Blaze Appliance under an overhead construction:
o
A minimum 6 foot of clearance is required between the countertop and the overhead construction.
o
When installed under a combustible overhead construction, the area above the Blaze appliance must be
covered with a vent hood. The vent hood must provide protection for the combustible overhead construction.
o
It is imperative a Blaze appliance is not installed under unprotected combustible overhead construction.
o
When installed under overhead non-combustible construction, a vent hood is still recommended. Gas
appliances produce a large amount of smoke. The covered area should be properly ventilated.
o
When using a vent hood, the area above the cooking surface of the griddle must be covered with a vent hood larger
than the cooking area of the griddle, and with a minimum of 1200 CFM for proper outdoor application.
