15. INSTALLING THE COOKING COMPONENTS
Parts Required:
12 x Cooking
Grid Support Brackets
(#2)
5 x Cooking Grids
(#1)
1 x Water Pan
(#13)
1 x Flame Tamer
(#14)
Installation:
• Insert six 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. Incorrect
placement of the flame tamer will cause the smoker to perform
incorrectly and may result in damaged or failed parts.
• 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 Pit Boss® into any electrical outlet, ensure the
temperature dial is in the OFF position. Disconnect unit when not in use.
•
STANDARD OUTLET
This unit requires 110-120 volt, 60Hz, 250W. It must be a 3-prong grounded
plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off. 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.
