Hi there, AmandaBrilz!The range requires a dedicated 240 V electrical connection on a minimum 40 amp circuit. The installer is responsible for having a properly grounded outlet or wiring point installed by a licensed electrician. The installation instructions from similar Frigidaire slide-in/electric range manuals (and common industry practice) show that the power outlet/receptacle location is typically on the wall behind the range, somewhere several inches above the floor in a recessed area that the range can slide over, or in the adjacent cabinet, not necessarily right at floor level. If the current outlet does interfere with the range’s fit, you can have a licensed electrician: - Install a wall-mounted receptacle a few inches above the floor, and/or - Recess the electrical box into the wall so the range sits flat. Your floor-level outlet doesn’t inherently “break” the requirement for this Frigidaire model; the range doesn’t require a wall outlet by code in every situation. But the installation guide assumes the outlet will be mounted where the range can slide back over it comfortably, which is usually on the wall a few inches above the floor (or in an adjacent cabinet), not sticking out at floor level if it would block the range. - Maico
