Unlikely to be a factor.  According to the specs, the 390 draws 270 
watts with ovens on and 170 W with ovens off, while the 390A draws 
225 watts with ovens on and 140 W with ovens off.  Most folks run 
them with the ovens off these days, so the line currents in practice 
are ~1.2 A (390A) or ~1.4 A (390).  Even the 390 with ovens on only 
draws ~2.25 A.

Best regards,

Charles
