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 Mini 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 Mini VII owners should contact their electrician if unsure how to proceed.
The internal switch which places the Mini 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 Mini VII
owners note that they see little operational effect when running in this mode.
The 20A Mini VII allows both boilers to operate simultaneously. HOWEVER, it is
possible to place the 20A Mini VII into 15A mode by removing the top cover from the
machine and flipping the internal 20A/15A mode switch. This is often referred to as
"Economy Mode".
Economy mode is a great option for those that really want the 20A machine but that do
not currently have a 20A circuit. In addition to flipping the mode switch from 20A to 15A
operation, this will require swapping out your standard 15A outlet with a 20A outlet.
These are readily available from most hardware stores. For a more temporary solution
there is an alternative such as this adapter cable available from Chris Coffee Service:

available elsewhere or you can make your own with a quick trip to your local hardware
store.
Note: new machines use a dual Solid State Relay (SSR) rather than the triac.
