Installing The Cooking Components; Connecting To A Power Source - Pit Boss PBV3PU1 Assembly And Operation Manual

15. INSTALLING THE COOKING COMPONENTS

Parts Required:
10 x Cooking Grid Support Brackets (#2)
4 x Cooking Grids (#1)
Water Pan (#13)
1 x
Flame Tamer (#14)
1 x
Installation:
• Insert five cooking grid support brackets into the holes along the left
side wall of the interior main cabinet. Once positioned in the holes, tilt
downward to secure into position. Repeat the same process, matching the
same heights, for the right side wall. Note illustration 15A.
• Place the flame tamer over the burn pot at the bottom of the interior
main cabinet. To ensure proper positioning, align the flame tamer into the
grooves along the bottom of the base panel. Note illustration 15B.
IMPORTANT: The ventilation windows on the sides of the flame tamer
box must not face forward, towards the cabinet door. This may cause
damage to the control board if flames are too large.
• Next, insert the water pan into the lowest grid support brackets of the
interior cabinet. Fill your water pan about ¾ full of water.
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.
• The unit is now completely assembled.

16. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

NOTE: Before plugging your unit into any electrical outlet, ensure the
temperature dial is in the SMOKE position. Disconnect unit from power
source when not in use.
• STANDARD OUTLET
This unit requires 220-240 volt, 50hz, 250w. It must be a 3-prong grounded
plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off.
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. 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.
