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!
