3.1 15A or 20 Amp Operation
The LaSpaziale VII is available in 15A and 20A versions. In actuality, they are both
identical machines. There is an internal switch that selects the operating mode and
they have different power cords installed. The power cord is the easiest way to tell
which version you have. The 15A VII has a standard 3-prong AC plug with two parallel
blades and a round ground pin. The 20A VII has a 3-prong plug with two perpendicular
blades and a round ground pin. The 20A version therefore requires a 20A circuit which
has a special 20A outlet which accepts the 20A plug.
Most modern kitchens have 20A circuits. However, they often do not use 20A outlets
because multiple outlets may be on the same 20A circuit. If you have a 20A circuit with
a 20A outlet this most likely means that outlet has its own dedicated 20A circuit and is
safe to use with the VII. A 20A circuit with normal 15A outlets probably means that
multiple kitchen outlets are on the one 20A circuit. Often this means the refrigerator
outlet. 20A VII owners should contact their electrician if unsure how to proceed.
The internal switch which places the VII in 15A mode does so by never allowing the
group boiler and the steam boiler to operate at the same time. When the thermostats
for both boilers try to turn on at the same time, the group boiler always has precedence,
and then the steam boiler operates in sequential fashion. A number of 15A VII owners
note that they see little operational effect when running in this mode.
The 20A VII allows both boilers to operate simultaneously. HOWEVER, it is possible to
place the 20A VII into 15A mode without removing the covers from the machine and
flipping the internal mode switch. This is called ECONOMY mode and is described later
in this manual.
As a temporary solution, Economy mode is a great option for those that really want the
20A machine but that do not currently have a 20A circuit. However, this will require
wapping out your standard 15A outlet with a 20A outlet. These are readily available
