Q: QuestionHow much voltages & ampere it needs. like 120volt or 220-240 voltage

Asked 5 years ago by aj.

• A:Answer This unit operates on 120 volts AC, as indicated in the specs. It has a maximum power draw of 1800 watts, if both burners are ON full blast. If you sat in the front row in school and remember your electrical formula, volts multiplied by amps gives you watts. Here, 120 volts times 15amps equals 1800watts. You'd be smart to operate this on a 20amp circuit, which is common in kitchens since the 1960's. Rule of thumb says that circuits like to operate at 80% load for continuous loads. You'd blow a fuse or trip a breaker if you used a 15amp circuit, and someone ran the toaster or hair dryer on the same circuit at the same time. For certain, do not use with a lamp extension cord!

Q: QuestionWhen using one of the two burners does the full 1800 watt power attribut to the single burner in use? DadBear, I hope this question doesn't perturb you, it's a nuanced variant of the wattage questions you've already answered relative to shared wattage.

Q: QuestionWhere are the vents located and does it have equal edges on all sides so it can be dropped in?

Asked 3 years ago by SOS.

• A:Answer The vents are on the back side. There is an even 7/8” raised, equal lip (edge) all the way around so the surface would not be close to flush with countertop. It would be raised 7/8” above. The vent location at the back starts immediately below the lip so probably wouldn’t have room to vent if installed as a drop-in.

Q: Questionwhat type of electrical outlet does the cooktop need? can a regular wall outlet work? thanks, jc

Asked 5 years ago by jc.

• A:Answer The power cord is for a "regular" 120 volt AC POLARIZED outlet...(one blade is wider than the other, so it is properly grounded)....do not modify the plug.

Q: QuestionCan this be built into a butcher block countertop? How much space required on all sides. Thanks

Asked 5 years ago by Granny.
