COOKSHACK Models 250/260 have a dual burner system using 240/208V AC single phase power. Connect these ovens to the power supply by connecting to a receptacle with a NEMA L14-20R pin configuration plug (Leviton P/ N 71 420- FR or Hubbell P/N 241 0) with a 240/208V AC single phase power supply protected by a 20 ampere fuse or circuit breaker.
