    Installing a Electric Stove/Oven
    I'm installing an Electric Stove/Oven unit that is not up against a wall. There are cabinets on either side of the stove and a counter for eating behind the stove. I have my wire coming up through the floor behind the stove for the plug. The stove has a downdraft exhaust fan (exhaust fan is under the stove) but I still have plenty of space to install my receptacle box. Can I install the receptacle box laying on the floor or should it be standing up under the stove. I have enclosed a couple of pictures to better help with my problem. I live in California

    Thanks

    Can be installed in any position that works. They usually sit on the floor as in the second photo. As long as the plug and cord has the room it needs without any interference.
