I'm just gonna leave the old circuit alone, and go with a new 20amp 115volt circuit. I'm lucky to have an experienced electrician as a friend, who happens to have everything I need to put the new circuit in properly. And I'll just happen to have some ribeyes and beer ready ...

Let me rephrase... it is a 30A outlet with 230v.
For some reason I was under the understanding that the MarkV was a 115/230 motor and could be rewired(power cord) to run on the 230v. In the owners manual SS doesn't make that distinction very clearly.

Thank You Sooo much!
That is exactly what a rookie like needs to know!

Ask and Thou Shall receive.

I new to SS, so be easy on me...Any help would be greatly appreciated.
