Depends on the amperage or wattage rating of the stove and the wire connected to it. Tell us that and we can go from there. Most are 50 AMP but I have seen 30 too. If you can find the wattage of the stove, divide that number by 240. BUT, you do need the wire gauge first as that is the limiting factor. BTW, it should be in the installation manual.

You must also know the gauge of your wire.
