Placing The Grease Bucket; Installing The Cooking Components; Connecting To A Power Source - Pit Boss 71340 Instructions And Recipes Manual

7. PLACING THE GREASE BUCKET

Parts Required:
1 x Grease Bucket (#11)
Installation:
• Place the grease bucket on the spout hook on the end of the main
barrel. Ensure it is level to avoid grease spills.

8. INSTALLING THE COOKING COMPONENTS

Parts Required:
2 x Cooking Grids (#1)
Flame Diffuser (#5)
1 x
Installation:
• Insert the flame diffuser into the main grill. Rest the flame diffuser on
the built-in ledge (on the inside right) of the main grill that directs grease
towards the grease bucket. Slide the entire piece to the left side, and the
two slots on the flame broiler main plate will fit into the rounded ledge
above the burn pot. It will sit slightly at a downward angle.
NOTE: If the flame diffuser is on the base of the barrel, it is installed incorrectly.
• Place the cooking grids, side-by-side, on the grid ledge inside the main
grill barrel.
• The unit is now completely assembled.
NOTE: To maintain the searing and grilling performance of your cooking
grids, regular care and maintenance Is required.

9. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

NOTE: Before plugging your Pit Boss into any electrical outlet, ensure
the temperature dial is in the OFF position.
STANDARD OUTLET
•
This appliance requires 110 volt, 60hz, 275w, 5 amp service. It must be a
3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off before
use. The control uses a 5 amp, 120 volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the
board from the igniter.
GFCI OUTLETS
•
This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended
size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power
surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During
the start-up phase, the igniter draws 200-700 watts of electricity
which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. The quality
of the GFCI does not matter, but rather the sensitivity; each time it
trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the
outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.
• ON THE ROAD
Disconnect the igniter from the main wiring harness. Use the manual
start-up procedure. A Pit Boss unit can operate using a 12 volt, 100 watt
inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. To use the automatic
igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000 watt inverter.
