[SunRescue] 690mp & 240VAC

[Jason J. W. Williams]

I hadn't thought about the range/oven. I may do that. Thought I was going 
to have wire down into the basement, which I know my University's Buildings 
& Grounds staff wouldn't like. But the oven/range could work. Thanks.

P.S. Anybody got a line on 690mp manuals on line?
