Default convection oven wiring

I bought a convection oven (Bosch, 700 series), and the installation
instructions say it need 15.8 amps (120/240V).
Every book and documentation I researched are mentioning electrical
ovens needing 40 or 50 Amps, so I am a little surprised, and would like
to hear from anybody whether maybe newer ovens are drawing less
electricity ?
I was thinking going for a 30Amps breakers (I don't even think I can
find find 20 Amps 2 poles breakers for my service panel).

thanks.

Fred.
