I'm looking into a Jenair Dual Fuel/Dual Oven Range (JDR8895A). Though
when we ran the Electrical we just figured on a regular oven and used a #10
and a 30Amp Breaker.

I've tried asking Jenair/Maytag Customer Service how many amps it draws and
they said it would work if I had 120/240v 50Hz. Even though the Web Form I
filled out said I was in the US.

Thanks,
Scott-

contact the place where you are purchasing the oven from and get the
amperage

Or you could probably look it up on-line at the manufacturer's web site.

Why did you install #10 and a 30 amp breaker, this is used for a dryer?
Regular ovens need #8 cable and 40 amp breakers, my double oven (an older
JenAir that we just removed) used a #8 cable and a 50 amp breaker. You
really need accurate information and not a guess. Your enquiry was probably
answered by an Indian Call Center and don't know anything about electrical
requirements.

Took me 5 minutes to check it out ----- 120/240 volts, 40 amps. That will
require a #8 cable.

I did find this

http://www.jennair.com/products/imag...veninstall.pdf

It states the following

This range requires a single phase three wire 120/240 or 120/208 volt,
60Hz AC circuit.

They have a lot more information in that pdf, I just didn't find a
specific line that states, 20A, 30A, 40A or anything like that. I
didn't look through the entire thing though.

These companies seem to use bots that can't read very well. I've often
asked questions and gotten unrelated replies before. Last time was
with a major satellite TV company.

Yeah, I found that. Pretty much what the Call Center person said, though
they said 50 Hz, though it could have been a Typo.

They finally came back and said that 30Amps is fine.

Now to trust the answer?

Thanks!
