2200 watts is the power consumption - from Ohm's law you can also calculate the following : Amps=w/v hence if this is on a 120V circuit then Amps=18.33 is it is drawing the full power. You would need to ensure that it is plugged into a 20 Amp socket as it may blow a 15 Amp. If it is 220V then A=10 and you are OK on a 15 Amp circuit.
