You'll have to change the wiring and the receptacle. Your oven is most likely 4-wire, and your dryer circuit is 3-wire. Even if your oven is 3-wire, it will need more amperage than the dryer. Ovens typically require 30-40 amps, which will require a circuit (wire and breaker) rated for 40-50 amps. The range plug is designed to go into a 240v, 50a receptacle, so I would make my new circuit 50 amps, with 8/3 (with ground) romex. <><><> 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. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Yes. 110 and 220 plugs are different so that you cannot plug a 110 recepticle into a 220 outlet and vice versa. If a home is wired for 220 it means that the potential is there for 220 recepticles. Your oven and clothes dryer require 220.

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.
