•Use only outdoor type with 3 prong grounding plug, rated for 15 amperes or more, approved by UL, marked with a W-A and a tag stating “Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliance”.

•Use the shortest length extension cord required. Do not connect 2 or more extension cords together. A 12 or 14 gauge extension cord of 50 ft. or less is acceptable.

•Keep connections dry and off ground.

•Do not let cord hang over edge of table top or other items where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

Ground Fault Interrupter

•Since 1971 the National Electric Code (NEC) has required Ground Fault Interrupter devices on all outdoor circuits.

•Do not use this smoker if the circuit does not have GFI protection.
