What can you do if you had a gas line installed but now need a 120V outlet on the same wiring so you can plug in the electric start for your gas cooktop instead of the old 220V electric cooktop?

=== === == == The existing 240 Volt outlet and its associated wiring and breakers can either be left in place for future use or can be disconnected. This job can be done by a licensed electrician. He would install a new 120 volt circuit with the correct size breaker on the main power panel and the correct type of 120 Volt grounded socket outlet so you can plug in the power cord from the gas cooktop.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power
at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND
always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes
(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

Electric range outlet to gas range?
Most Gas ranges require power for the electric starter, in that case a 110V 15A plug outlet is required. Some gas ranges are "duel fuel" where there is an electric element in the oven as well as gas. then there are some that are gas for the cooktop burners but pure electric. in the last two cases, usually they requre 220v 40A, but its best to check with the manufacturer for power specifications before installing these ones.

Why is it that the outlet shows 209 volts instead of 120 volts?
Because it is a 220 volt outlet instead of a 120 volt outlet. Now, if this is a standard 120 volt outlet that is reading 209 volts then someone has made a mistake in the wiring. You need to call an electrician to straighten this out.
