IMPORTANT: Keep water in the water pan at all times while cooking.
It will catch grease and drippings from your cooks and allow for
easier clean up. If smoking for an extended period of time, move
water pan up higher to allow water to last longer.
• Last, place the cooking grids, one-by-one, on the grid support brackets
inside the main cabinet. Note illustration 15C.

17. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

NOTE: Before plugging your unit into any electrical outlet, ensure the
temperature dial is in the OFF position. Disconnect when not in use.
STANDARD OUTLET
•
This unit requires 110-120 volt, 60Hz, 250W service. It must be a
3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off. The
control uses a 5 amp, 110-120 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.
