Often when I wire a new kitchen the customer is getting a standard oven and cook top. Assumming it is all electric I will run a 50 amp circuit and plan to install a typical range outlet down near the floor behind the oven. Other times they may have a single wall oven and I will look at the oven specs to see what it needs for amperage and a connection.
In this case they know they want a singel wall oven but they do not plan to select it until after I have wired the new kitchen. Anybody have a guess as to the largest size circuit I will need? I'm guessing a 30 amp.
Also, don't they usually connect with a factory flex whip in an adjacent cabinet and not behind the unit? I hate it when they don't know what they want. It just makes the job more difficult.
