Gyu Seon Park, 41, maintained his pleas of not guilty when he appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on Wednesday on charges of acts endangering life and failing to appear.
He was committed to the ACT Supreme Court for trial and the matter will appear in the higher court in the coming weeks.
Park allegedly placed a leaking gas bottle in the toilets of the Braddon McDonald's store about 9pm on September 12.
He allegedly told staff there was a gas leak shortly before the bottle exploded.
The force of the explosion caused the glass in the front doors to shatter.
Fortunately, the store had been emptied at the time.
Park suffered burns in the incident and was sent to Sydney to receive specialist treatment.
He was extradited back to the ACT in October, where a court remanded him in custody.
