How many amps do I need to run this range? 30 or 50? null

Hi there, you can click on this link(https://bit.ly/2JnYSBK) and go to page 5 to review the electrical requirements for this range. ^Jefry

i think you nerd certified electrician and the state or municipal nerd to give you the authorization. or you will het trouble later, and home insurance company will drop you once they find out.

The range must have a rated minimum amperage label. In any case, I would not use a breaker or power cable rated for less than 50 Amps.

It's rated 120/240V , 60Hz : 11.9kW. This is just under the maximum limit of 12kW for a 40 amp breaker. So make sure you've got a minimum 40A, 2-pole breaker dedicated for your range outlet. Since there is no such thing as a 40A outlet (at least, not that I can find), it is acceptable to have a 50A outlet wired to your 40A breaker. I know this because I installed it myself and did a lot of research online BEFORE I hooked it up and plugged it in, to be certain I wasn't inadvertently creating any hazards in my (built 100+ years ago) home. So I investigated the specs printed on the range itself (you'll find this on the frame hidden by the face of the drawer--just pull it out and it becomes visible on the left side), and the specs on the cord I bought as well as the outlet in my home (both rated 50A and are 4 prong), and then also went to my breaker box to examine the breaker it was on (40A, two-pole, dedicated). Then I looked all this up online to determine if this was a safe setup, and it does appear to be normal and fine according to many DIY/electrical websites and forums. Home Depot also has this range listed on their website, and the specs over there note it as being rated a 40A.
