@Daak811 All the work was done to code by a licensed electrician. Electrical was, by far, the single largest line item in the renovation budget. Counter level outlets were GFI, and the wire used was armored (according to building code requirements.) We also replaced a VERY outdated fuse panel with a new breaker box and reduced the load on the rest of the apartment wiring by adding 5 dedicated circuits to the kitchen appliances and 1 new one in the living room (other side of the wall.)

Ur weird!...what size breaker and wire should be used with a stove

@demolitionbarbiedoll , thank you. My friends and family would agree with you about the weirdness factor :) This stove only uses electricity for the igniter and clock/timer, so the power demands are low. It is on the same circuit as the microwave range hood and runs through a 20amp breaker.

Some full-electric stoves require a 220 outlet which means you'll tie in to 2 breakers and use a heavier gauge wire.
