minimum 10 Amp service (see Electric Wire Diagram for access to electric components).
Ensure all wire connections are firmly connected and dry.
Remove cooking components from the main smoke cabinet. Turn the unit onto its side, and

build-up or obstructions, and follow Care and Maintenance instructions for ash build-
