All US kitchen outlets (except in really OLD houses) have 220 volts -

required by code. It's easy to add an outlet with the right socket for
220.

Actually it's rated as 240 volts, but is often higher. It's twice the
normal line voltage which while claimed to be 120 volts is usually
127 or so.

In an apartment it's often 208 volts. Since the device has a thermostat,
it's probably fine on 240 V in any case.
