Please retain these instructions for future reference. AWARNING! • Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous. • Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious injury or death from fire, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning. • Do not allowfans to blow directly into the fireplace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. • Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory, not approved for use with this heater where applicable. 1. Due to high temperatures, the firebox should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies. 2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. 3. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the firebox. 4. Do not place clothing or other flammable material near the fireplace when the firebox is in use. 5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing, must be replaced prior to operating a heater within the firebox. 6. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. 7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented gas heater/firebox should be cleaned at least annu- ally by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, etc. It is imperative that control compart- ments, burners and circulating air passageways be kept clean. 8. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the heater serviced as it may not be operating properly. 9. The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54. 10. This unit complies with ANSI Z21.91 ventless firebox enclosures for gas-fired unvented decorative room heaters. 11. Do not install the unvented heater in a bathroom. 12. Do not install the unvented heater in a bedroom unless the maximum input rating is equal to or less than 10,000 Btu/hr. 13. Correct installation of the ceramic fiber logs, proper location of the heater, and annual cleaning are neces- sary to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the fireplace. See log place- ment instructions for proper installation. 14. Avoid any drafts that alter bumerflame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur. 15. CAUTION: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce combustion byproducts including soot. Vent -free appliances will not filter or clean soot produced by these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/ or aromatics (scents) may be re -burnt in the vent -free appliance which can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent -free appliance is in operation. 16. An unvented gas-fired heater uses air (oxygen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided. See installation guidelines. 17. Keep room area clear and free from combustible mate- rials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. 18. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be a primary heating appli- ance. 19. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area. In most homes of average construction, this does not pose a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction, additional mechanical ventilation is recommended. 20. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance; possibly causing headaches, or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence. Continued on page 7 Monessen • BUF36/42 Installation and Operating Manual • 4600-900 - Rev J • 01/2020 Continued from page 6 The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in period will be slight and will disappear with continued use. 21. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000 feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code. 22. The appliance and its main gas valve must be discon- nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). 23. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). 24. Do not use this room heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water. 25. Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a unvented room heater is installed. 26. Always have a fireplace screen in place when the appliance is in operation, and unless other provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for induction of combustion air. 27. Do not fill spaces around the firebox with insulation or other materials. These spaces must be maintained to prevent the firebox from coming in contact with com- bustible materials. AWARNING! Do not attempt to burn solid wood fuels, vented gas log sets, or any other combustible in this unvented firebox. Also, do not install a vent - free gas log set in this firebox if the minimum clearance and height requirements of the log set are too large for the firebox. Notice: Illustrations shown in this manual reflect "typical" installations with nominal dimensions and are for design and framing reference only. Actual installations may vary due to individual design preferences. However, always maintain minimum clearances to combustible materials and do not violate any specific installation requirements.

GETTING STARTED The image to the right shows the position of the motors directly from the factory. This position of the motor is used when running vertical pipe » for your venting. STEP 1 REMOVE COVER PLATE There are two sets of screws you will be working with on the cover plate. The smaller screws closest to the edges of the plate hold the plate to the hood itself. The larger screws closer to the center hold the motor to the cover plate. Remove all of the smaller screws holding the cover plate to the hood body. STEP 2 REMOVE MOTOR SCREWS Next, remove all of the larger screws,which hold the motor to the cover plate leaving the center screw. The center screw to be left in place can be seen in the below image. STEP 3 DETACH MOTOR FROM PLATE Holding the center of the motor, remove the final screw, which will free the motor from the cover plate. Lower the motor gently until it comes to resting position. STEP 4 ROTATE MOTOR At this point, the cover piece can be removed and you are ready to rotate the motor to the horizontal discharge position. When lifting the motor out of the housing, tilting the motor down on one side is typically the best method for getting the motor out of the opening. Once out of the hood, simply rotate 180 degrees and place the motor back into the hood. For both the removal and reinstallation of the Motor, be careful not to pinch the wiring. Allow it to rest at the initial position when you started. STEPS REPLACE THE COVER PLATE Next, re -install the cover plate with the discharge in the horizontal position. The cover plate can be reattached with the small screws. STEP 6 ATTACH THE MOTOR Re attach the motor to the cover plate. Start with the center screw which was the last screw removed when the motor was disattached. Once the initial screw is in place, attach the remaining screws to hold the motor onto the cover plate. Remove Last a • • a Ti ~r fi M X C/3 STEP 7 SECURE LOOSE CABLES You will find some of the connecting cables now lying below the motor. Secure wires above motor and the rotation process is complete.

This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not approved to be installed in or on any recreational vehicles and /or boats. Blaze Grills 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 not store combustible materials, gasoline or flammable liquids or vapors around theappliance. • 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. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 110 • 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 14" from sides & 16" 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 both the appliance, grill cartand/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. • 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 Blaze appliances must not be 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 grill must be covered with a vent hood larger than the cooking area of the grill, and with a minimum of 1200 CFM for proper outdoor application.

Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 114 GAS LEAK WARNINGS 0 Finding and/or fixing a gas leak is NOT a "DO-IT-YOURSELF" procedure — ONLY USE A PROFESSIONAL. NEVER USE THE GRIDDLE WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS INCLUDING ALL OF THE VALVES, FITTINGS, LINES ETC. (ALL GAS CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED) ❑ WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. USE OF AN OPEN FLAME COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION AND BODILY HARM. ❑ DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST. Any open flame will ignite the gas. ❑ To prevent fire or explosion hazard, Perform leak test outdoors only. ❑ Check to ensure that flexible hoses do not have any cuts and wear that may affect the safety before each use. Only the factory supplied hose and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator and hose assemblies specified by BLAZE OUTDOOR PRODUCTS. Checking for Gas Leaks Perform a leak test before each use 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 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. • 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. o On Natural Gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the appliance. o On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn toopen. • Apply the leak -testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas delivery system. This includes all valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the burners. • Blowing bubbles in the soap solution and/or there is a faint gas smell (Typically Gas has an Egg Smell) indicates that a leak is present. Do not attempt to ignite the grill. • Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 115 Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint and/or resealing with thread sealant or Teflon tape, removing sealant or tape in the event of a flared connection 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. • 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 appliance 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 appliance. • Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer. • Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected. • The below diagram is intended to show what a leaking connection would look like. These two locations are not the only points to check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present. Leak Testing • All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service along with before each use. This includes all valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the burners. All leaks must be corrected immediately. Remember -before exchanging an empty bottle for a new one; make sure all control valves are in the "off' position. This can create a low flow of gas through the grill. This would require the tank to be disconnected from the regulator, and then reconnected to reset the regulator. Open the valve (shut-off or'ON' LP tank). Test for leaks by applying liquid soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate gas leak. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 116 • 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. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.

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. Caution: Do not leave the unit under the sun with the protective film on for a long period of time as it will make the film difficult to remove and/or leave markings on the materials which are not covered by the warranty. Your Blaze Series Appliance 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. Remove all packaging materials, labels and protective plastic film before you start cooking. 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" for NG and 1/4" for LP). 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 burner rests in the corresponding slot in the rear of the grill chassis. Failure to do so could result in a fire and injury. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 117 Gas Connections Natural Gas Requirements • Connect a suitable natural gas flex connector to the grill regulator located on the rear right corner ofthe appliance. It is recommended to use a flex connector with a minimum of a W diameter or larger. • Sealing all non -flared fittings with thread sealant or Teflon tape. • Ensure the flex connector is protected from sharp edges, heat, aggressive surfaces, and kinking. • Check the appliance 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. • The regulator used must be set for 4" water column and is for use with Natural gas only. Note: Most low pressure regulators have a directional arrow indicating the direction in which the gas must travel. Ensure the arrow is pointing in the direction of the grill. • An installer supplied gas shutoff valve must be installed in an accessible place. Liquid Propane (LP) Gas and Tank Requirement • If your BLAZE Grill is for a Liquid Propane application, a L.P regulator set for 11" WC must be used and is for use with LP gas only. • The regulator and hose supplied must be used with a 20 Ib. 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 thecylinder. • A method of mounting. • The gas supply must be turned off at the LP Gas supply cylinder and the LP Gas supply cylinder must be disconnected from the regulator when this outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use. • Always sit the cylinder in an upright position so that the cylinder valve is at the top. This will ensure proper vapor withdrawal. • The cylinder should not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. It should be stored outdoors in a protected, cool, and dry location out of reach of children. • Never store any spare or extra gas cylinder(s) around or in the outdoor kitchen containing the BLAZE GRILL or any other open flame, heat -producing appliance(s) or heat source. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 118 Filling and Refilling LP Gas Cylinders: All purging and refilling of LP gas cylinders must be pertormed 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 appliance 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. Always check for leaks before every use. If one is not already available, it is required 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. Do not store cylinders in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 119 Procedure for LP Gas Cylinder Connection 20 lbs The LP Gas Cylinder must be in compliance with the specifications for LP -Gas Cylinders of the US Department of Transportation or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-13339. The basic tank size is 12" in diameter and 18" High with a QCC-1 cylinder valve. 1. Turn the "Hand Wheel' on cylinder clockwise until it stops to ensure the Cylinder Valve is fully closed. 2. Turn all of the burner knobs to the M position. 3. Connect the 3/8" Flare end of the hose to the 3/8" Flare end of the brass coupling on the unit using a 3/4" open wrench. Do not anoly ninesealant-,(These are flared fittings). Note: remember the rubber line on the hose and regulator must be protected from sharp edges, hot surfaces, aggressive building materials that could cut, melt, or damage the line. A separate approved gas line might be needed to go between the hose and regulator and the grill to position the rubber line in a safe location. 4. Connect the regulator to the LP cylinder. Only hand -tighten the regulator. 5. Check for leaks using a soapy water solution by spraying on all connections, including all of the valves, fittings, lines etc. (any and all gas connections have the ability leak and therefore it is critical to check for leaks before each use) 6. To disconnect after you have used the appliance, turn the burner knobs to the OFF position. 7. Close the Cylinder Valve by turning the Hand Wheel counter -clockwise until it stops. 8. Disconnect the regulator from the LP cylinder after use.

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 25. The island must be made out of non-combustible material. In the event it is combustible, the use of an insulation jacket is REQUIRED. A distance of 5" will be needed behind the grill for the lid to open and close. Remember that should combustible materials (such as a combustible wall) be located behind the grill that the needed 5" for lid clearance doesn't satisfy the distance required from a combustible surface. Protection from Weather: Keep the appliance protected from adverse weather, including rain and wind. 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. A wind block behind the grill may be necessary. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 121 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. While the amount of venting required for your island will vary due to the variety of differing local codes, inner framework and design of an outdoor kitchen, the amount of gas products installed and their locations, etc., all built in grill islands should be ventilated in some way. Your local contractor and/or your local code authority can determine adequate ventilation for each installation. Stainless Steel vent panels are available from your dealer to cover the island venting. The following information is important to consider when adhering to your local code requirements. LP/Propane Gas: LP gas is heavier than air and will settle to the lowest levels of the outdoor kitchen. It is imperative to provide adequate cross ventilation for the areas where gas can accumulate at these lower levels of the island cavity. Should the Propane cylinder be located in the outdoor kitchen itself, a plenum wall is required to separate the gas source from the other areas of the outdoor kitchen (picture shown in owner's manual), and both the cabinets containing the gas appliances and the gas tank should be ventilated appropriately. If a plenum wall is undesirable, Blaze offers a Propane tank drawer as an alternative. NG/Natural Gas: Natural gas is lighter than air and will rise to the highest levels of the outdoor kitchen. It is imperative to provide adequate cross ventilation for the areas where gas can accumulate at these higher levels of the island cavity. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 122 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). Before installing an appliance in any island cut out, make sure that the opening is not bigger than the outside frame of the appliance unit. The appliance 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, sharp edges, and aggressive surfaces and should make as few bends as possible. Ensure the gas line connection will be accessible when appliance is installed. A safety shutoff valve is required at this gas connection point. Before installing the grill into the island cutout, the main burner cotter pins may be removed for convenience of service, adjustments, and maintenance in the future. These are accessible from the outside rear of the grill. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 123 M+ 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. Failure to do so could result in a fire and injury. If the outdoor kitchen countertop will overhang the face of the island, notching out the two front countertop edges will be necessary to allow the grill to slide flush against the outer front wall to the outdoor kitchen. Due to differing personal preferences of the size of the notch out, this is recommended to be done at the point of installation so that the consumer can dictate their preference. NOTE: The control panel of this unit is removable for service and must remain accessible. Do not seal around the control panel preventing removal. • Slide the appliance into thecut out and then attach the gas line. • Be very careful not to kink the gas line when lowering the appliance into the cutout. • Keep your fingers away from where the appliance will be supported on counter. Your fingers could become trapped and serious injury could occur. • Check to make sure the appliance is level and is supported around the entire outside edge. If the appliance isnot 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. • Connect the transformer to the grill, then into the electrical outlet. Be sure to follow all of the electrical safety and instructions found on page 12. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 124 *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.

If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting. Always perform a gas leak test before each use. Caution: Never operate the appliance unattended. The surface is extremely hot and someone can touch the hot surface and get seriously burned. All gas appliances should be attended at all times. Prior to using your appliance, verify that all of the following is correct: ✓ The burner tube is free of any debris or obstruction. ✓ Installation of the proper gas type and regulator settings. ✓ The proper gas connection is complete. ✓ Check for gas leaks. ✓ Minimum clearances are maintained. ✓ All packaging has been removed. ✓ All parts and components are properly in place. ✓ An installer -supplied manual gas shut-off valve is fully accessible. ✓ LP hose is clean and inspected for cuts, wear, abrasion, or leaks. Replace if necessary with suitable UL, ETL or CSA Listed part with internally threaded connector. Lighting the Appliance 1. Open the hood. 2. Use caution when lighting burners by standing as far away from the burners as possible. Do not put your hands, arms, head or any body parts close to the grill when lighting. 3. To ignite burners, push the burner knob in and slowly rotate counter -clockwise to the high position. 4. You will hear a loud click as the electronic lighter produces a spark. Listen for the sound of the gas igniting and look for a flame through the cooking grids. If the burner does not light on the first try, repeat Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 127 immediately. (For rear burner, a slower turn of the knob is necessary. This allows gas to accumulate in the rear burner to achieve ignition. Never use the rear burner with the warming rack in place) 5. If the burner does not light in 5 seconds, turn the burners off and wait five minutes with the lid open until the gas clears before attempting to light it again. Repeat the procedure or try the manual lighting procedure below. 6. If the burner does not light after several attempts, immediately close all gas valves and consult an authorized service technician. 7. Upon successful lighting, repeat the process on the other burners you wish to light. 8. To shut off the burners, rotate the knob and turn to OFF. 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. If you have just attempted to light the burner, allow five minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Use caution by standing as far away from the burners as possible. Do not put your hands, arms, head or any body parts close to the grill when lighting. 3. Hold your open flame to the top of the Lighting Tube. See below picture. 4. Push in and turn the control knob to HIGH. 5. If the burner does not light after five seconds, turn the control knobs to the OFF position. 6. Wait five minutes until the gas clears before attempting to light it again. 7. If the burner does not light after several attempts, immediately close all gas valves and consult an authorized service technician. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 128 "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. When lit, the flame should have a mostly blue color to it. It may have a tint of yellow and adjustment to the air shutters can be made to obtain a blue flame and proper gas glow (see flame adjustment. Turn the control knobs to HI and allow the grill to preheat for 15 minutes or until desired temperature is displayed on the thermometer. The hood is to be closed during the appliance preheat period. Manually Lighting the Rear Burner 1. Open the hood. Never use the rear burner with the warming rack in place. 2. If you have just attempted to light the burner, allow five minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Use caution by standing as far away from the burners as possible. Do not put your hands, arms, head or any body parts close to the grill when lighting. 3. Hold your open flame to the right side of the rear burner. 4. Push in and turn the control knob to HIGH. 5. If the burner does not light after five seconds, turn the burner off and wait five minutes with the lid open until the gas clears. 6. Wait five minutes until the gas clears before attempting to light it again. 7. If the burner does not light after several attempts, immediately close all gas valves and consult an authorized service technician. Flame Adjustment a. Become familiar with the safety instructions at the front of this manual. Do not smoke while lighting the appliance or checking the gas supply connections. b. Make sure that all gas connections are securely tightened and have been leak -tested with a soapy water solution - never with a flame[ C. With the cooking grids and flame tamers removed, light the main burners and run them on the high setting. d. Inspect burners for proper flame appearance. The ideal flame appearance is one that is mostly blue Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 129 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. If the flame is lifting off the burner surface, slightly close the air shutter. Re -tighten the Philips head screw and re -install the burner to recheck the flame appearance. Repeat if necessary. Turn burners to low flame setting and test for proper flame height. Flame should be stable and burning out of each burner port without danger of going out in the lowest setting. (To adjust the LOW flame setting simply light the appliance on the LOW setting and adjust the screw located under the knob on the front of the valve using a flat head screwdriver as seen in the diagram below.) Low flame setting screw Cleaning Your Appliance NOTE: Always wait until your appliance is completely cool before cleaning. You should clean your appliance after each use to maintain the overall appearance over the life of your appliance. After the first use, it is normal for your appliance to become discolored in certain areas from the heat produced by the burners. A video for cleaning your grill is located on the blaze website to assist with the below instructions, www.blazec,,rills.com . Exterior Cleaning When cleaning your appliance, always scrub and polish in the direction of the stainless steel grain. Wipe down the exterior of the appliance to remove any splatter or grease. Do not use harsh abrasives. Use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the exterior surface for a polished look. To remove baked -on foods, use a fine to medium grit non- metallic abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner to avoid specks of grease collecting in the grain causing the appearance of rust. Before installing the cover, always allow the surface to dry. DO NOT cover a damp appliance. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 130 Drip Tray Clean the drip tray after each use. Failure to do so could result in a fire. Once the appliance has cooled completely, remove the tray by pulling it all the way out until it comes free. Clean the tray with hot soapy water and replace ensuring the tray is installed completely in the grill housing. If using an oven cleaning agent, be sure to 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. Make sure the gas supply is off and all control knobs are in the "OFF" position. You must remove all cooking grids and flame tamers to expose the main burners in the appliance. On the bottom rear of each burner is a cotter pin accessible from the back of the grill head. Remove cotter pins (unless they were removed prior to installation into an outdoor kitchen). To remove burner, pull rod upwards and slide burner toward the rear of the appliance. Repeat for each burner. To clean the burners, use a wire brush to clean the exterior of the burner. Free all clogged ports of obstructions with a small metal object. Clean out any debris through the air shutter and inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is free of any obstructions. Use a rod or pipe cleaner to remove any debris within the burner if necessary. SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING Spiders and other insects can nest in the burner of this and any other burner, which causes the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This dangerous "condition" can cause a fire behind the valve panel, damaging the burner and making the burner unsafe to operate. Inspect the burners before each use. Symptoms of insect nests can include any of the following conditions: 1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow. 2) The burner does not reach temperature. 3) The burner heats unevenly. 4) The burner makes popping noises. NOTE: Make sure each burner is properly placed after cleaning. It is very important to ensure the end of the burner is installed appropriately onto the gas valve to ensure gas flows safely into the burner. Failure to meet these conditions can cause dangerous conditions that can cause personal injury and/or propertydamage. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 131 Optional Infrared Sear Burner How to Replace Conventional Burner with Infrared Sear Burner (A video for installing the infrared sear burner is located on the blaze website to assist with the below instructions, www_bla_egrills.com ) 1. To install the optional infrared burner, begin by removing the far left cooking grid, flame stabilizing grid and zone divider. 2. Remove conventional burner by first removing the cotter pin that holds it in place (unless they were removed prior to installation), located on the bottom rear of the burner and accessible from the rear outside of the grill body. With the cotter pin removed, remove the conventional burner. 3. Place the infrared burner in place, leaving off the flame tamer. Ensure the burner is seated appropriately around the valve so that gas flows into the burner. 4. Replace the heat zone divider and cooking grid. Do not use this burner with the flamer tamer reinstalled above the burner. Note: It is critical that the end of the infrared burner is installed appropriately onto the gas valve to ensure gas flows safely into the burner. For additional information, contact us at 866-976-9510 or go to Blazegrills.com. Preheating the Infrared Burner Always preheat the entire appliance before cooking. If the appliance is already hot from cooking, you should still Preheat the infrared burner for 3 minutes with lid open. Never place food over the burner until it is fully preheated to avoid clogging the tiny ports and damaging the burner from grease drippings and food particles. Infrared Burner Cleaning To keep your infrared burner operating at maximum performance after each use, turn it on HIGH for 5-7 minutes with the hood open. This allows any food particles or grease drippings to burn away. Once your appliance has cooled completely, use a soft brush or vacuum to remove any ash accumulation on the burner if necessary. Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 132 Fuel Conversion CAUTION: This should only by performed by a licensed gas professional. (A video converting your blaze grill is located on the blaze website to assist with the below instructions, www.blazegrills.com ) Convertible Gas Re u ator (if apolicableL Currently all Natural gas grills are supplied with a regulator which is appropriate for use with Natural Gas or Low Pressure Propane. 1. When converting to Propane Gas, the most common Propane canister used is a smaller sized portable canister (typically 5 gallons or 20 pounds).The pre-installed regulator will need to be converted to LP gas (see below) and add a secondary low pressure hose and regulator with an outbound pressure set to approximately 11" of water column pressure. If an individual is intending on using Propane provided from a larger tank permanently installed on location, the regulator included with the appliance will only need to be converted for use with LP fuel (see NG -LP Regulator Conversion below). Please be aware that this included regulator can only withstand an inbound pressure of .5 PSI or roughly 14 inches of water column pressure. Any higher pressure on location will have to be further regulated before connecting to the regulator on the appliance. Please consult your local Propane gas provider to confirm the gas pressure on the supply line feeding the appliance. 2. If converting to Natural Gas, a low pressure regulator with an outbound pressure set to 4" of Water Column pressure must be used. 3. With either setup, remember to always check for gas leaks after the job is complete (see checking for gas leaks).

NOTE: for a "FULL" conversion maks sure you replace all of the orifices located in the Valves including the Back Burnor valve with the LP orifices provided In the Conversion Kit Blaze Outdoor Products Instructional Book Page 134 CAUTION: This should only by performed by a licensed gas professional. Main Burners: 1 You must remove all cooking grids and flame tamers to expose the main burners in theappliance. 2. On the bottom rear of each burner is a cotter pin. Remove cotter pin. (unless they were removed prior to installation into an outdoor kitchen) 3. To remove burner, pull burner upwards and slide burner toward the rear of the appliance. Repeat for each burner. 4. Where the burner was previously located, connecting to the main valve through the hole in the basin should now be empty space. 5. Inside the space you will find the end of the valve (toward the front of appliance), with an orifice (brass fitting), screwed into the end of the valve stem. 6. Carefully remove the orifice with a 6mm socket set and extension. (These are extremely fragile! When unscrewing, be extremely gentle, for you could easily break the brass fitting and have to replace the valve). 7. Once the old orifice is removed, replace it with the new orifice, (repeat for all burners). When re -installing the orifice, do not over tighten or you will strip the brass fitting. Very little pressure is needed!!! 8. 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. If the flame is lifting off of the burner surface, slightly close the air shutter. Re -tighten the Philips head screw and re -install the burner to recheck the flame appearance. Repeat if necessary. Rear Burner For the Blaze 4 & 5 Burner, replace the back burner orifice by removing the plate on the rear of the BBQ and carefully removing the fitting. Replace with the provided conversion back burner orifice — large brass fitting (differs from small main burner orifice).
