How many watts is the stove rated for?  volts times amps equals watts, so watts divided by volts equals amps.  You don't say what the voltage is, 110, 120, 220, 240 either.

The typical 4 burner stove + oven requires a 50 Amp 220 V circuit.  The plate on the stove should indicate current requirements.  Replacement Heating elements are around 1250 W (5.5 A) for large and 750 W (3.5 A) for a small burner.  Ovens are considerably more and use both elements during a clean cycle.

Thank you,

The sticker attached to instalation instruction said 39 amps but the inside booklet for instalation is indicating 60 amps.

It is glass top (smooth top) stove with self cleaning function 24" wide that is why I'm still confused made in Italy.

Is this helpfull? Maybe this will give you more accurate information about this product and I can have safe instalation for my stove

Okay.  This is an international site, so we're all kind of guessing a little here that our electricity is the same.  Mine is 60 Hz 120 VAC.  Who knows what yours is, you didn't list your country in the profile.  But anyways, I would go with 60 amps if I were you, just to be on the safe side. Either way, make sure your wires are sufficient gauge to carry the load, and if you're using 240 VAC (U.S. style) that would be two 30 amp breakers in a 240 double switch type breaker.  39 amps is an odd size to me, which probably means it's the actual tested draw of the unit.

You're welcome.  Sure to answer any question would be a help.  You don't have to pass the help directly to me, I can wait while the karma circulates around a little, but I do have a list of questions I've asked visible through my profile (click on the picture labeled "profitbob") that you can answer if you feel like.  You might have fun reading some of the posts, too.  I tend to ask strange questions and get some offbeat answers.  Kind of like a survey of the world's attitudes about stuff.
