15. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
•
STANDARD OUTLET
This appliance requires 110 volt, 60hz, 375w, 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, 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 300-700 watts of electricity
which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. The quality
of the GFCI does not matter, but rather the sensitivity; 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 Louisiana Grills unit can operate using a 12
volt, 100 watt POSITIVE WAVE LENGTH inverter plugged into your
automobile outlet. To use the automatic igniter, it is recommended to
use a minimum of a 1000 watt POSITIVE WAVE LENGTH inverter.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.
