Blaze LTE PRO 40-Inch 5-Burner Built-In Gas Grill W/ Digital Temperature Screen & Rotisserie - BLZ-5LTEPRO

Features

• 80,000 BTU total: five 14,000 BTU cast stainless steel burners plus a 10,000 BTU infrared rear burner.
• Temperature readout and two meat probes: the control panel shows grill surface temperature and both probe temperatures, so you can cook to doneness without lifting the hood.
• Rotisserie kit included: runs over the rear infrared burner; the taller firebox leaves room for whole birds and large roasts.
• 12 mm hexagonal grates: heavier than standard rods for heat retention and sear marks, over stainless steel tri-baffle flame tamers.
• Lighting you can read at night: LED knob indicators that turn red when gas is flowing, plus an automatic interior light.
• Two warming racks: a stainless steel taco rack and a heavy-duty multi-purpose rack that stores upright.

Specifications

Installation planning

• Cut-out: 38" W x 21-1/4" D x 9-1/2" H. Overall size: 40-1/2" W x 27" D x 22-1/2" H; allow 28" of height for the open hood. If the countertop overhangs the island, notch its front edge (set the grill in the cut-out first to mark it).
• Build into a non-combustible enclosure; a combustible island or cart needs Blaze's insulating jacket. Cut a 1" air gap in the front face of the countertop below the control panel.
• Clearances: 18" from combustible construction at the sides and back; 4" from non-combustible construction. Never install under combustible overhead construction. Under a non-combustible overhead, keep 72" and run a UL-approved vent hood of at least 1,000 CFM that is larger than the cooking area, with the fan bottom 36" above the cooking surface.
• Island vents on both sides: propane needs lower vents (bottom within 1" of the island floor, top no more than 5" up, each at least 1/2 sq. in. of free area per lb of stored fuel); natural gas needs upper vents within 5" of the island top, each at least 1 sq. in. per lb of stored fuel. Openings must admit a 1/8" rod and stay unobstructed.
• Gas: the regulator takes about 1/2 psi inbound at most; higher supply pressure must be reduced before it. Propane uses one 20 lb cylinder (12-1/4" diameter x 18" high, with overfill protection device) and a 3/8" flare hose connection with no pipe sealant. For natural gas, Blaze recommends a flex connector of at least 5/8" diameter and an accessible shut-off valve. Conversion between fuels is done only by a licensed gas professional.
• Electrical: a 15-amp outlet on a GFCI-protected breaker, mounted on the back wall inside the island; outdoor-rated extension cords only. The power button for the display is at the lower right of the control panel and glows red when on; the probe jacks are beside it.
• With an insulated jacket: a licensed contractor installs it, gas connections inside it use a stainless steel flex line (never a rubber hose), and the grill's own clearances above, behind and beside still apply.
• Leak-test every connection with a 1:1 soap and water solution before each use and whenever a connection changes; never use a flame.

Care: Inspect and clear the burner tubes before each use (insects can nest in them and cause a flashback, heard as a whoosh). Flames should be mostly blue and not lift off the burner; the air shutter is set about 1/8" open for natural gas and 1/4" for propane. After each cook, brush the grates on medium-high, wipe them with a 50/50 vinegar and water solution, then rinse, dry and oil lightly. Wash the drip tray with hot soapy water once cool and never cook without it. Clean stainless steel with the grain using a stainless cleaner or non-metallic pad, never flood a hot grill with cold water, and cover it only when cool and dry. Blaze notes that hood gauges can read roughly 200-300 degrees F below the grate surface; the probes read the food itself.
