Default re-wiring Gaggia Coffee Espresso?

Yep. Both smaller pins are properly hot on all outlets.

You should have two GFIs feeding the kitchen. Have they changed the code
in
your state?


I have three GFIs in the kitchen, two on one wall and one (with a slaved
outlet as well) on the opposite wall. I'm not sure what the code says
regarding GFIs in the kitchen, I got the impression they're required
for all kitchen outlets from a real estate salesperson.


Well that's a new one on me. Either it isn't wired to code or they now no
longer require a split service to the kitchen. Every kitchen I've ever
checked has 208 or 240 across each outlet.


Just so I don't have to rip one out of the wall to check, is it actually
possible to split the outlets on a standard GFI outlet? If so, is it
as easy as breaking off the little "ear" on a standard outlet? Also,
does splitting it leave only one outlet protected?
