Ground wire for controllers
mounted off of the grill or
on plastic. Shake proof
wash must still be used.
If the controller is going to be mounted off of the grill or where the
faceplate screws don’t go to Earth ground, then a ground wire from
the faceplate to Earth ground is required.
Firmly tighten faceplate
screws with shake proof
washers for proper
grounding.
SHAKEPROOF WASHERS
Shake proof (star locking)
washers must be used to
fasten the controller to the grill
to ensure proper grounding.
WARNING –Shake proof washers MUST penetrate
the anodizing for proper grounding!
