    Wire at the service panel
    I am installing a
    GEŽ 30" Free-Standing Electric Range(JBS55WK/CK/BK). It can use a 3 or 4-WIRE CONDUIT INSTALLATION plug from the range to the outlet. I have a double braker space available at the service panel. I have installed brakers into the panel for outlets and lights and then had them checked. I have never wired for a 40 amp breaker. What wire should I get and how should it be wired into the service panel. Is the 4 wire a better choice any help will be appreciated.
