ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!
•
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
•
Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.
•
Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong.
•
DO NOT use an extension cord.
•
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death.
Before you install your gas grill into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the
proper electrical connection. A standard electrical supply (115V AC, 60Hz), properly grounded
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure whether or not your electrical connection
is properly grounded.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size must be 15 Amps. It should be a GFI breaker suitable for
outdoor use. It is recommended that a separate circuit be provided. Use receptacles that
cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
If permitted by national and local codes, and the installation requires a separate ground wire, a
qualified electrician must determine the appropriate ground path.
In addition to the above, always observe the below warnings:
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord or plugs in water or other liquid.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or
taking off parts.
• Do not operate any outdoor cooking gas appliance with a damaged cord, damaged plug, or after
the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact EdgeStar for repair.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not use an outdoor cooking gas appliance for purposes other than intended.
•
When connecting, first connect the plug to the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Then, plug the
appliance into the outlet.
• Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking gas
appliance.
•
Use extension cords with a 3-prong grounding plug rated for the power of the equipment and
approved for outdoor use with a “W-A” marking.
