I need to install wiring for a whirlpool induction cooktop model gci3061x but don't know what gauge wire to use. The booklet that came with it doesn't say.

What is the wattage of the unit? It will probably say in kW.

Are you prepared/experienced enough to install this circuit, or are you having someone do it?
