"220 GFCI outlet " is there such a thing?

Hi, 

I was wondering if there is such a thing as a 220 GFCI outlet?

I have an electric oven within 6 feet of a sink and (from attached picture) it's not GFCI

The 220 outlet is a dedicated outlet not a duplex outlet and it doesn’t serve a countertop space.  It is not required to GFCI protected.

I looked it up and from my understanding it says that every countertop outlet OR anything within 6 feet must be GFCI?!

 I just had a fix & flip rewired from top to bottom (it was old aluminum wire) and had copper put in. I heard nothing about 220 GFCI. I didn't see it in NEC 2017. You may be thinking 20 amp circuits. As stated above, stoves, dryers, hot water heaters are dedicated. The new NEC 2020 is out and it states (note that it is for "locations that are supplied by single-phase branch circuits rated 150 volts or less to ground are required to have GFCI protection for personnel

You have to check and see if your city/state require NEC 2017 or NEC 2020 or neither (like Phoenix AZ)  but it's good to follow the code anyway.
