16. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

NOTE: Before plugging your Pit Boss
the temperature dial is in the OFF position.
• STANDARD OUTLET
This appliance requires 110-120 volt, 60hz, 250w, 5 amp service. It must
be a 3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off
before use. The control uses a 5 amp, 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.
