@bern,
Check this hyperlink for electrical wiring and load information
http://www.doityourself.com/forum/electrical-ac-dc/255746-confused-about-proper-amp-wire-electric-stove.html

Furthermore in this hyperlink the experts recommend 6 G (in steel conduit) for appropriate margin of safety.

Of course, the permit and inspections should be adhered to and gotten.
