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 certified contractor if you do not wish to do the
installation yourself.
If your dealer is not a certified 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 configuration 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),
install a junction box near the barbecue island and use #6
(10mm²) wire between the junction box and the barbecue
island.
