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  certied  contractor  if  you  do  not  wish  to  do  the 
installation yourself.
If your dealer is not a certied 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 conguration 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.
For 120V grills, you need a dedicated 120V 20 amp 
grounded electrical service.
There will be a 110V power outlet inside the barbecue 
island. Using Romex or similar grounded, shielded 
wire, connect the outlet to the electrical service in the 
stub-up.
If the circuit breaker trips while the barbecue island is 
in use, reset it. If it does not reset, contact a licensed 
electrician for service. DO NOT USE THE BARBECUE 
ISLAND!
