ELECTRICAL ITEMS
ELECTRICAL BOXES & CONDUIT
8. As mentioned in Step 1, a licensed electrician must run the electrical supply lines from the house
main electrical panel (20 amp breaker), to the recommended area below the curb base. This supply
is brought into the main electrical box as shown in the photo on the next page. The flex conduits
coming out of this box are labeled “A” or “B”. The electrician will make up the final connections as
shown in the diagrams on the following pages.
This main electrical box contains a GFCI outlet, which protects all the “B” outlets. The “A” circuit
runs to the weather-proof GFCI outlet located on the right side of the Suite, or to the outlets at the
bar (for those models featuring a raised bar). Should the GFCI trip due to a fault at the Grill, Side
Burner, or Refrigerator (“B” outlets), it must be reset, and the other “A” outlets will not be affected.
Similarly, the “A” GFCI will not affect the “B” outlets if it trips due to a fault.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
The Hestan Outdoor Living Suite is completely pre-wired for ease of installation. The suite will
require a 20 amp supply (breaker) from the house main electrical panel. The licensed electrician
will have to run the appropriate wire size and conduit for this application. Rigid or flexible
conduit suitable for burial with water-tight connections are highly recommended from the house
main electrical panel, to the suite.
Important: The appliance(s) must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
Appliances (grill, side burner, refrigerators, etc. ) are equipped with a flexible electrical supply
cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected to a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type,
contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from this plug.
The appliances are designed for 120 volt AC power and must be plugged into a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit. For gas-burning appliances, do not connect to
the electrical supply until after gas connections have been made and leak checks have been
performed.
KEEP ANY ELECTRICAL CORDS AND FUEL SUPPLY HOSES AWAY FROM ANY HEATED
SURFACES.
• 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 or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer 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.
• Use only a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit with this outdoor
cooking gas appliance.
• Never remove the grounding prong or use with a 2-prong ground adapter.
• Use only 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.
