Operating Instructions

Extension Cord
Note: Grill functions best WITHOUT an extension cord.
1. The short cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
2. An extension cord may be used, if care is exercised.
3. If an extension cord is necessary:
• Use a UL approved, 3 prong plug (grounded) that
is rated for at least 15 amperes, and suitable for
outdoor use.
• Never connect two or more extension cords together.
• Use the shortest extension cord possible.
• A 12- or 14-gauge cord of less than 50 feet is
preferable.
• Keep connections dry and off the ground.
• Avoid draping the grill cord over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children,
animals or tripped over unintentionally.
Grounding Instructions
1. This grill must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
2. The grill is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a dry
GFI (Ground-Fault Interceptor) 3 prong outlet (Figure 1).
3. An adaptor should be used for connecting a 3-prong
plug to a 2-plug to 2-prong receptacle (Figure 2).
4. The grounding tab, which extends from the adaptor,
must be connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box using a metal screw
(Figure 3).
