No, but It seems like the product will work from a 115 volt duplex outlet and draw up to 20 amps or with a 230 volt single phase but will draw 10 amps and they specify 15 amps because that is the minimum amperage available. Of course the wattage will be the same with either voltage and they supply the adapter to allow you to go either way.

The average outlet is 120 volts. I would recommend you pay an electrician to wire in a 240 volt line for this unit. May save you headaches down the road. This unit draws alot of current at 120 volts. Call the manufacturer, they may be able to help with any questions. Good luck.

To obtain 220V , you would have to connect two phases of AC to the socket, with neutral on the third (ground pin). (This is a bad idea and a code violation.)
