Don't know about those more knowledgeable, but I say NO. Before ,the
microwave was integral to the stove, and U.L. approved as a unit. It was
also probably fused inside the stove as well . In any event she'd now need
to run a dedicated circuit for the microwave

A friend of mine asked me a question I didn't know the answer to, so I
told her I'd ask you guys.

She has a stove-oven/microwave combination. She is going to get a new
stove/oven and a microwave but the microwave will be separate. Currently
(heh) she has just the 220V outlet for the stove. Can she take one leg of
the 224V circuit and run an outlet for the microwave? Her reasoning is
that she should be able to since it was done before, just inside the
stove.

What say those more knowledgeable?
