Researching, I found this: "Any device or wiring system which allows the use of a 15a designated device on a 10a circuit is illegal and against Australian wiring standards. The earth protection may not be able to conduct the extra currents produced which in the event of a fault could result in serious injury or death."


I'm not risking it. As per below, the element is stamped as 3000W @ 220V and the plug supplied is rated @10Amp. Yeah, sure a new "sticker" will fix this... Dodgy as, it's going back. Will wait to save up and get a Crown or Birko.

 

Plus, another note on this seller: on their eBay page they state the unit is covered by a 12 months RTB warranty but in the small print in the "manual" it only mentions 3 months. Shonky *****.
