Electrical Requirements
You do not need to hire a contractor to install your electrical service,
but you must ensure you have all required permits and the installation
complies with State and local code. We recommend you hire a certied
contractor if you do not wish to do the installation yourself.
If your dealer is not a certied contractor, you will need to hire a
contractor for installation of your electrical service.
When installed in the United States, the electrical wiring must meet the
requirements of National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and any
applicable state or local codes. The electrical circuit must be installed
by an electrical contractor and approved by a local building / electrical
inspector.
Supplying power to a barbecue island that is not in accordance with
these instructions will void both the independent testing agency listing
and the manufacturer’s warranty.
The power supplied to the barbecue island must be on a dedicated
circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the power.
To determine the current, voltage, and wire size required for the island
conguration to be connected, refer to the following:
• Wire size is determined by length of run from breaker box to the
barbecue island and maximum current draw.
• We recommend copper wire with THHN insulation.
• All wiring must be copper to ensure adequate connections. Do not
use aluminum wire.
• When NEC requires the use of wires larger than #6 (10mm²), in-
stall a junction box near the barbecue island and use #6 (10mm²)
wire between the junction box and the barbecue island.
120 Volt Electrical Installation
For 120V grills, you need a dedicated 120V 20 amp grounded electrical
service.
There will be a 110V power outlet inside the barbecue island. Using
romax or similar grounded, shielded wire, connect the outlet to the
electrical service in the stub-up.
If the circuit breaker trips while the barbecue island is in use, reset it.
If it does not reset, contact a licensed electrician for service. DO NOT
USE THE BARBECUE ISLAND!
