No its electric.

Could be a US low voltage issue? Since im European.

North American ovens run on 240v, they probably just need to replace the heating element

But my EU oven runs on 380V-16A three-phase, because we in the Netherlands and Germany are special snowflakes.

My Finnish oven runs on 380V too, although it'd hard-wired insted of a weird plug.

[–] MashedPotatoJeff@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

That's awesome. You could probably run a proper kiln in place of your oven if you felt like it.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Mines 5 phase. My Dad got because he works at oven.

It's possible he's running it at 120v if the electrician did a bad job in the kitchen. 400v ovens are fairly common where I live and can run on 240v in a pinch (even if it's not recommended).

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Not that I know such things, but I think 120V wouldn't even fully heat up an oven.

[–] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Ah Yeah maybe, Canadian but North America as a whole is the same standard of 240v for ovens. It could also be I've only used lower end ovens lol.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's probably true. Our electric kettles heat up much slower too for the same reason.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The only large appliances that aren't running 220-240v in the US are the refrigerator and dishwasher .Ovens, washing machines, tumble dryers, furnaces, and water heaters are all on 240 volts.

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In Europe, at least my oven is hooked up to 3 phase 400V. That's more than the 240 max you get in the US.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Serious question, with that much power do you even pre-heat the oven? At that much power, I imagine you can just put the food in and turn it on.
