If the nameplate on the oven states that it can be used on 110 or 120 volts, then it is safe to do so. The wattage of the oven will be rated at or about 1500 watts.
it depends on what kind of oven some are just hooked up to the gas line you might have that kind of oven or some ovens are electric

1500 Watt.
No; drawing more than the rated amperage from a transformer will cause it to overheat.
The device has a transformer inside - which amplifies the mains power. The power is fed to an internal 'transmitter' - which sends high-frequency radio waves 'bouncing' around the oven's interior. The radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Buy a double wound step-down transformer (230/115 volts) of he appropriate capacity (kva) . You may have to replace the plug on your oven to match the output socket of the transformer if you buy this in England. Do not buy a single wound (auto transformer) as it can be extremely dangerous if it is wrongly connected.Alwyn.
The power of a microwave oven is almost always expressed in watts.

A microwave oven is always switched on, even when it isn't cooking anything. It needs to be in order to recognize your commands and to have a clock. This means that there is a power transformer, and if the transformer laminations are slightly loose, they will vibrate in response to the 60 Hz magnetic field. That means that you will hear a 60 Hz or 120 Hz hum. If your power supply is some other frequency, like 50 Hz, you will hear a 50 Hz or 199 Hz hum. An expensive encapsulated transformer would fix this.
The C-Max Microwave Oven has 1200 watts of power which I believe is the most power of any microwave oven.
It outputs high voltage so that the magnetron (which is recieving the 2000v the Microwave transformer produces) can emit microwaves and it will cook the food but if fed lower voltage it is like a lower wattage it will cook slower
I would not clean it with purple power
yes
This is just a guess, but it sounds like the person fitting the oven does not want to have a new 240 Volt circuit installed to supply the oven and plans to use an existing 120 Volt wall outlet using a 120-to-240 Volt step-up transformer. To conform to the latest Wiring Codes, a wall oven usually has to have its own dedicated circuit with correctly sized breakers, wiring and outlet. The circuit should be designed to supply whatever voltage and current the wall oven requires without using any separate transformer. Are you are having the wall oven installed by a licensed electrician or by a kitchen fitter? If you are not sure if the person who is talking about using a transformer is actually a licensed electrician who is following the Wiring Codes for your locality (Town/State) then the best advice anyone should give you is to refuse to have any electrical work done for your wall oven until you have had a second opinion from an independent licensed electrician or electrical engineer.
