BLAZE BLZ-ELEC-21 Manuel Du Propriétaire page 8

This unit is not to be used in altitudes above 6,561.68 feet (2,000 meters).
Most importantly, this is an outdoor appliance. Under no circumstance is this appliance to be used indoors. This includes
garages or any other enclosed area. This outdoor electric cooking 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. Ensure your appliance is positioned
safely away from anything that can catch fire.
•When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind and proximity to traffic paths.
•Do not store combustible materials near the appliance, gasoline, flammable liquids, or vapors.
•This BLAZE GRILL must be located outdoors only. Please note: Since hot air rises above the BLAZE GRILL while in operation,
covered locations should be avoided unless an outdoor vent hood appliance is properly installed. Do not locate the BLAZE
GRILL where an overhang or awning may cover it unless an outdoor vent hood appliance is properly installed.
•DO NOT obstruct the air flow of this appliance in order to prevent overheating.
•Keep any electrical supply cords away from any heated surfaces and/or sharp and aggressive edges.
•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.
•Combustible Enclosure Clearance: 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 cart, any additional cooking appliances,
and/or island cavity. 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 wind.
•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 a local contractor of any uncertainty.
•When installing a Blaze appliance under an overhead construction:
• A minimum of 6 feet of clearance is required between the countertop and the overhead construction.
• 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.
• Blaze appliances must not be installed under unprotected combustible overhead construction.
When installed under overhead non-combustible construction, a vent hood is still recommended. The covered area
•
should be properly ventilated.
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 1000 CFM for proper outdoor application
