Q: QuestionCan I use this microwave over the counter using a regular power outlet?

Asked 5 years ago by TennisFan.

• A:Answer Hello TennisFan, we would not suggest the KMCS3022GSS be used as a countertop unit. The KMCS3022GSS is designed to be supported only from the top and back, where a standard countertop unit is designed for countertop use. the KMCS3022GSS does come with a power cord and will work with a standard outlet. We hope that helps!
