Agreed-in no way am I suggesting the existing circuit should be
used.
It needs to be rewired. My point was that a normal residential
branch
circuit also has the POTENTIAL for being overloaded much higher than
the circuit is rated for (other kitchen appliances for instance)

But is obviously protected by the breaker. And they are not normally
loaded for an extended period.

Done....
