NATURAL GAS (NG) DANGERS AND WARNINGS

DANGER

This outdoor fireplace is for use with natural gas only. The conversion to or attempted use of liquid propane in this outdoor fireplace is dangerous and could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

WARNING

Natural gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of its characteristics before using any natural gas product. Failure to understand and follow these warnings or any directions and warnings provided by your gas supplier may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

CAUTION

During any high pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi. (3.5 kPa) the fireplace and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

WARNING

Burner valves are pre-tested at the factory to operate on natural gas. Do not attempt to convert or change.

Natural Gas Characteristics

• Natural gas is flammable, explosive under pressure, lighter than air, and collects in high areas. Collected gas may ignite causing a fire or explosion which could cause property damage, serious injury, or death.
  • In its natural state, natural gas has no odor. For your safety, a scent has been added.
• Direct contact with natural gas can burn your skin.
• Natural gas is extremely flammable and hazardous if handled improperly.

Natural Gas Information

• This natural gas fireplace is designed to operate on natural gas only at a pressure of 7" W.C. (1.74 kPa).
• Check with your local gas provider for local gas pressure, because in some areas natural gas pressure varies.

Natural Gas Connection

• It is recommended that an ON/OFF manual shut-off valve be installed outdoors at the gas supply source after the gas line exits the outside wall or before the gas line enters the ground, and before the quick connect.
• When making a connection, sealing compound or pipe thread tape of the type resistant to the action of natural gas must be applied on 3 to 4 threads of all male pipe threads.
• Connect the end of the natural gas hose with the quick release connector to the manual shut-off valve at the gas supply.

Filler Material Warning

• Do not overfill the burner area with rock or glass filler; use only the specified amount. The depth of the filler should not be more than 1 inch (2.54 cm) above the burner tube. Only Blaze filler products have been certified and tested for safe use with this Blaze fireplace. Using other filler material may result in increased popping and cracking or increased carbon monoxide emissions.
• Do not light or use this fireplace if the filler is wet. Ensure filler is completely dry before lighting. Intense heat can cause wet filler to explode and hit someone causing property damage, serious injury, or death.
• Keep away from the fireplace for at least 20 minutes during initial start-up as filler could retain moisture from manufacturing and shipping.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

2. Connect the fireplace to the natural gas source:

A professionally installed shut-off valve between the supply piping and the socket is recommended by the National Fuel Gas Code, and must be used for the fireplace. A professional gas technician or plumber must make sure that your gas system is capable of providing the correct amount of gas at the correct pressure for your fireplace to operate safely and correctly.

The quick connect socket connection must be made outdoors. The diagram below shows the main components of a standard natural gas connection.

If the socket connection is below the fireplace, no part of the hose may contact the side panels or base panel of the burner area when the fireplace is in its normal operating position.

CARE AND CLEANING

Inspecting Your Fireplace

WARNING

DO NOT inspect, clean, move or store your fireplace until the flames are COMPLETELY out and all parts are cool to the touch.

Your fireplace should be inspected regularly to ensure that it is safe to use and to extend the life of its parts.

Inspect your fireplace:

1. Make sure all parts are securely fastened in place. If a part moves when touched, check its connection points to see if they are loose.
2. Check all connections for leaks using the method described in the "Checking for Leaks" section of this manual.
3. Visually check all components for any signs of damage, rust, or excessive wear.
4. If damage or leaks of any kind are found. DO NOT operate the fireplace until the proper repairs have been made.

WARNING

DO NOT tamper with this fireplace. This is dangerous and will void the warranty. Repairs and modifications must be approved by Blaze and completed by a professional gas technician.

This fireplace has been tested and certified by a third party certification agency based on its specific and unique parts. Installing any other parts will void both the certification and the warranty. For approved replacement parts contact Blaze Customer Service at 1-866-976-9510.

General Care and Cleaning

After repeated use, a slight discoloration or weathering of the fireplace finish may occur. Your fireplace should be cleaned regularly to ensure safe use and extend its life.

General Cleaning

Make a cleaning solution using a mild soap mixed with water. Use a soft cloth to wipe down exterior surfaces and rinse with clean water. Never use oven cleaners or abrasive solvents as these will damage the fireplace.

Burner

The burner should be kept clean to ensure proper operation. Clogged burner ports may be cleared with a paper clip or pin. Debris in the burner tube can be cleaned using compressed air or a pipe cleaning brush.

Soot

After use it is possible for soot to develop on some surfaces. This soot deposit will usually come off with water and mild soap.

Sealing

To maintain the fireplace finish it is recommended to reseal the table surface with a water-based sealer, annually. Resealing will restore the beauty of the finish and further protect the fireplace.

CARE AND CLEANING

Storage

1. Turn the gas supply off at the source. Remove the quick connect hose from the gas supply line and coil for storage under the fireplace.
2. Secure all loose filler material or parts.
3. Cover the fireplace when not in use and do not allow water to pool on the cover surface. Covering the fireplace will help to protect the internal components from dirt and debris and prevent the finish from fading.
4. Store the fireplace in a cool, dry location away from children and pets.

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spiders or other insects may build webs or nests in your fireplace burner tube which can obstruct or block the flow of gas.

Some of the gas may back up in the burner tube and cause a flashback (a fire in the burner tube or underneath the fireplace), which could result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Check and clean the burner tube periodically using a pipe cleaning brush (shown below) and compressed air available at any hardware store.

Example of a typical burner tube. Your exact burner tube may vary.
