I just got this machine in today the ww250 120v. The plug has a european connection not compatible to the socket of a 110v outlet why is it like this?

The plug is not a European connection, it is a standard 110v/120v 20 amp plug (NEMA 5-20). This is a 20 amp machine and the plug is configured that way to prevent you from accidentally plugging into a 15 amp receptacle.

It is not a European plug, it is a 20 amp plug. Most households only have 15 amp plugs. Replace the plug with a 20 amp plug, but first ensure that the plug being replaced is supported by a 20 amp breaker. (and shut the breaker off while replacing the plug!!) You can get the plug at any hardware store, they are easy to install.

We had to have an electrician come in and install the proper jacks. Maybe we should send Waring the $1000+ bill as this product is labeled 120v

This item is not compatible with Euro outlets. It has the standard US 110v three prong. Compatibility easily solved with an adapter. I bet you could find one in 4 seconds on a large internet retailer. If only I could think if one.

The plug sticker says "120 Vac, 60Hz, 6W" It has the standard 110 plug, I'm unsure if an adapter would work with this appliance. You may need to contact company for further info. The customer service # 800 794-5866

The plug that came with mine only plugged into standard outlets (110-120V). It takes very little energy to circulate water. 220V would be overkill for this type of appliance. Those big fountain pumps in outdoor pounds only take 120V. If you're saying the plug that came with yours is 220V, and that would be the size of the plug found on electric clothes dryeres (huge plugs), then I think someone has messed with yours before you bought it! Find the appropriate 120V plug, don't change pumps...you'll blast your sprouts into pulp!

The machine that I got is 115 volts. I would check directly with the manufacturer or supplier as to 230 volt machines-I believe that most of Europe uses 230 v. The machine is made in Sweden so probably makes a 230v.

I just returned to America from visiting England (I purchased my flat iron in America) and my iron short circuited when I plugged it into 220v using an adapter. The gfci safety plug was no use in protecting my iron from short circuiting! That was an expensive mistake.

This machine has a 110 plug and no manuel switch that goes from 110 to 240. 240 would probably fry the wiring in this small appliance, sorry. I have welded and plasma cut with 240 before. We run on AC current here in the US, not DC. Why don't you try to contact the manufacturer directly and ask if the have another appliance better suited to your market. Sorry, I do not have anymore ideas. Martha

Along with this device, you will need your air compressor and an air hose with a female quick disconnect on the end so you can easily connect and disconnect it to the air inlet on the back of the cutter. It does not ship with the plug attached to the power supply, so you will need to buy either a plug to fit a 110v outlet, or your 220v outlet. I bought both. I wired it 110 first to see how it would operate, just because that would make it more portable as sometimes a 220v outlet is not always available. It works okay, but not nearly as well as it does on 220. Instructions on wiring the device are included and I believe the wires were already pre-stripped. The air inlet is referred to as the gas inlet in the instructions, but no gas is required. Hope this helps.

I could find no voltage switch on my machine to change to a 220v service. It appears to only use 110.

They sent me the European plug version too. Amazon has adapters available that will convert the plug from European to U.S. The supplier offered to refund $6 which I accepted. They were very apologetic for sending me the wrong version.

The one I have only allows to plug into 110. Not sure about the European plug.

First, check the info on the unit itself and the plug. If it is a standard U.S. plug, then you will need to contact Canon about the error message. If the plug is round, it is a 220 plug which is for European connections and won't work here. Contact Canon and maybe they can get you a U.S. plug. Europe uses the 220 system. We do not use it here. This printer is not wireless! Don't know where that idea came from, but it's incorrect. European plugs have round protrusions,while U.S. plugs have flat blade protrusions.

The big question is: Now that we have burnt out something inside the main unit, can we replace this unit with one that has been made for 240V? If anyone knows where we can source the main body of the machine with a 240V rating, please let me know. Thanks

I just looked and it is on the plug end. I used mine a bit different. I have 220 vac going into it with a 220 vac receptacle doe the out. I am feeding in 220 into the 120 plug on a converted extension cord. it works just fine and safely as nobody else gets to touch it.

I have not noticed that there was written 120 and plug into 220 v. After I bought voltage converter, checked and the machine did not work. Is it possible that I did burn the motor?

If it is wired for 220, why would you have it plugged into a 110 outlet?there are several different 220 plugs, be sure you have the correct one and it is wired correctly, an electrician can do it for you.
