trevor266he is referring to input voltage, not input power draw (which is rated 1600W).
the machine is exclusively 110V/60Hz and will NOT work on 220V/50Hz outlets.
Also, I really don't recommend using a step-down transformer for this type of appliance. It does convert from 110V to 220V and provides enough current to power the machine. but --- the heating element is designed for 60Hz operation. a transformer does not alter frequency, resulting in increased heat, lower output power and higher risk of malfunction.

RayFOh yes, how moronic of me to misread what was being asked, better string me up now.

psw212hey buddy, if you live in South Korea then your household electricity operates at a frequency of 60Hz, but the voltage is 220V. The machine sold here is 110V/60Hz.
But, this actually makes it safe to use the machine with a step-down transformer. Funny enough, most of these units are made in South Korea!
What you need: 3KVA 60Hz Step-Down transformer
you should give these guys a call:

You can probably get it for less that $100.
Of course, it's best to buy a machine that is designed for your native electricity output.
But if none of these machines are sold in South Korea, then this is your best hope :)
