Convert 220 stove outlet to 110

I have replaced my electric stove with a gas model. Over the new range will be a microwave/vent. I want to convert the old 220 line into a 110 outlet for the micro.
HOW?
Thanks
Frank

Here's the general outline:

Replace the double-pole 50-amp or 40-amp breaker in your panel with a single-pole 20-amp breaker. Fill the empty hole in the panel with a spare breaker or a filler plate.
Replace the receptacle (if one) at the range with a standard 15-amp or 20-amp receptacle. You'll probably need to pigtail some #12 wire to the existing wire since the larger wires won't connect to the receptacle directly.

If the wriing is aluminum, make sure you use the right connectors. The exact details depend on exactly what kind of cable is currently feeding your stove.

A gas range doesnt use much pwoer, you really should get it from somewhere else and abandon that huge wire.

I have a 20amp breaker on my panel that doesn't seem to be feeding the 3 outlets that it's wired to. I lost power to the three outlets then checked the breaker. It was still in the on position. I checked for voltage & was getting 118v. I also checked for voltage in the off postion & read 0.03 v. I turned it full off & back to on , but still nothing at the outlets . I disconnected the black wire , removed the breaker from the panel , switched it on & off 5 times , checked for continuity in the on position & got it. No continuity in the off position. Re-intalled the wire (making sure to make contact) & re-inserted the breaker. Still reading voltage at the breaker in the on position but still nothing at the outlets. Did I miss something ? What can I do next ?Read More
