Asked 6 years ago by Sq.
- Answer I would suggest calling Breville and asking that… personally I have never seen a countertop appliance that used 220, I have only seen some Ranges and some clothes Dryers that use 220. Actually I have never seen a kitchen counter have a 220 outlet. Good luck finding your answer to this
