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

11. INSTALLING THE COOKING COMPONENTS

Parts Required:
3 x Cooking Grates (#1)
1 x Upper Cooking Grates (#2)
1 x Flame Broiler™ Main Plate (#9)
1 x Flame Broiler™ Slider (#8)
Installation:
NOTE: Both Flame Broiler™ parts are lightly coated with oil to avoid
rusting when shipped.
• Insert the flame broiler main plate into the main grill, right side first.
Rest the flame broiler main plate 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 illustration 11A.
IMPORTANT: If the flame broiler main plate is on the base of the
barrel, it is installed incorrectly. The flame broiler should sit at an
angle, with the left side sitting higher than the right.
• Place the flame broiler slider on top of the flame broiler main plate,
covering the slotted openings. Ensure the raised tab is on the left,
to easily adjust for direct or indirect flame when cooking. Note
illustration 11B.
NOTE: When the flame broiler slider is open, and direct flame is used
while cooking, do not leave the grill unattended for any period of time.
• Place the cooking grates, side-by-side, on the grate ledge inside the main
grill. Note illustration 11C.
• The unit is now completely assembled.
NOTE: To maintain the searing and grilling performance of your
cooking grates, regular care and maintenance Is required.

12. 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 110-120 volt, 60Hz, 275w. It must be a 3-prong
grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off before use.
The control uses a 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. 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.
