Plug-in or 240 V
240 V: needs a dedicated 240 V circuit, typically installed by an electrician.
Circuit
240V / 40AMP (Stove) and 120V / 15AMP (Control for Lights and Music) (Please consult a certified electrician.), as the maker publishes it.The maker publishes a 40 amp circuit. Sized from the 8 kW heater by the 125 percent continuous load rule, the minimum is 45 amps on 6 AWG copper. NEC 422 gives the rating marked on a listed appliance authority over that calculation, so both figures can be right; your electrician decides which applies to your run.Check it on the calculator.
