I am an Electrician and can answer that, you should do a 4 wire hook up but don't have to according to code if your house was built before 1979 before this code was adopted, it just means the neutral conductor ties together with the ground wire which can present a risk of a shock under the right conditions, albeit a small one. The unit will be 4 wire, it can be hard wired or plug and cord connected, either way.

All built-in products (including built-in ovens, cooktops, and drop-in ranges) have a conduit with the electrical leads attached to the range. The leads can then be connected right into the household wiring. There is no need for a power cord as the unit can be wired into the household wiring. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us via email or social media. Best wishes. Mike@GEA
