That's not a kettle, Hutch! That's an engine boiler!! Hahaha :P

Just a saftey note...you do realize that if you hook up your 220 volt kettle to an American 220 volt socket it will be across two lives, instead of a live and neutral.

I wonder if this can be dangerous...considering the contact with water and such....

A Greek friend of mine (computer geek) who brought his huge 220-volt only high-speed laser printer from Athens hooked it up to a Nema 6-15 socket....it works fine....so I guess it shouldn't be a problem if the equipment is well designed, right?
