Electrical Supply Requirements

You will need a dedicated 120V 10 amp grounded 

electrical  service.  The  power  supplied  to  your  grill 

enclosure must be on a dedicated circuit with no other 

appliances or lights sharing the power.

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  certified  contractor  if  you  do  not  wish  to  do  the 

installation yourself.
If your dealer is not a certified 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.

To determine the current, voltage, and wire size 

required for the island configuration 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 grill enclosure.
