Outdoor Rated Electric Cord
Your Paradise Grills outdoor kitchen is pre-wired with a GFCI electrical box installed. This electrical box
has a hanging plug pigtail for connection to an existing GFCI electrical outlet for power supply. The
customer must supply an outdoor-rated extension cord long enough to reach your chosen electrical
outlet.
Use only a 12-gauge extension cord with a grounded, 3-prong plug. Outdoor extension cords should be
used with outdoor products and are surface marked with suffix letter “W” and with a tag stating
“Suitable for use with outdoor appliances.” The maximum length allowed for the extension cord is 25
feet. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before each use and replace if
damaged. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.

WD-42 Operator Manual Kitchen Island Preparation •7
Kitchen Island Preparation
Planning Considerations
Materials: All kitchen islands must be constructed using only non-combustible materials. If any combustible
materials are used, an insulated jacket must be added between the appliance and the island.
Airflow: Proper airflow MUST be maintained for the appliance to perform as it was designed. If airflow is
blocked, overheating will result.
Building permit:Check with city and fire department for local building codes. A permit may be required for a
custom-built kitchen island.
Custom Built Island Cut-outs
Ensure any island cut-out opening is no larger than the outside frame of the appliance being installed. The
appliance should rest on the lip of the frame.
The appliance must be installed in a non-combustible enclosure only.
The determination of whether a location is combustible or non-
combustible construction is made by the local fire marshal, building
inspector, or the local safety authority having jurisdiction.
To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the air flow of this appliance.
Here are some other considerations:
•Ensure your appliance is adequately vented during operation. Consult your local licensed
professional for adequacy requirements
•Ensure your outdoor kitchen is constructed out of non-combustible materials
•Please allow for a tolerance of +/- 1/8"; we recommend having your appliances in hand to measure
before making final cutouts in your custom-built kitchen island

8•Appliance Assembly WD-42 Operator Manual
Appliance Assembly
Your WD-42 Appliance comes pre-assembled and requires very little setup. Professional installation of your
appliance is required to satisfy your warranty.
The power cord must not be pinched against a sharp edge. Secure
the cord to avoid tripping or snagging. To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or personal injury, do not run cord under carpeting, and
do not cover cord with throw rugs or runners. Arrange the cord away
from traffic areas to avoid tripping hazards.
Do not immerse cord or plugs in water or other liquid.
Ensure the island is free of cracks that would allow water or other
liquids to get into the electrical controls.
Keep the warming drawer away from sprinklers.
The warming drawer must be installed by a qualified technician and
properly grounded.
Ensure warming drawer vent ducts are unobstructed.
Electrical Precautions
The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
This electrical appliance is equipped with a grounded, 3-pronged plug for protection against shock hazard.
Plug this appliance into a properly grounded, 3-prong GFCI protected receptacle on a dedicated 20-amp
circuit. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug.
Follow these precautions to connect the kitchen island to an electrical supply:
•Use only 12-gauge extension cords with a 3 prong grounding plug, rated for the equipment power,
and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking on the tag
•Keep electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any heated components
