  Most electric ovens are. 220-240v anyway.

    AFAIK almost anything called 220V is actually 240V unless it was made before the 50s

      Yes. The USA switched our mains voltage from 110/220 to 120/240 about 50 years. There is a tolerance built in (10%) so that if a circuit is actually running at 100 or 220 then its within specs. A 120v circuit can run anywhere from 108 volts to 132 volts and be within spec. Its a pet peeve of mine when people say 110/220.

  I’ve never seen an electric oven that wasn’t 240 volts.
