Mom bought me a new stove for Christmas, out of the blue. So let's just say not a lot of advanced planning went into this. So they dropped of the new stove and the delivery guys took one look at the stove and knew that it would be hard wired in. They moved it and it was.
Now ignoring the fact that I am dumb, and even if there had been an outlet it would probably have been the wrong kind anyway.
Is there any reason they hard wired stoves rather than using plugs?

Hardwiring in stoves was the only way at that time of how to safely hookup a stove. Your dryer was the same way and any other 220 units. What a relief when CSA approved the dryer and stove plugs. You can come out with a new product but it takes a while for electric regulations to approve and use the product. It is easy to install a plug on to the old wiring for future stoves. We've had a couple of surprises when moving.

Many are hard wired today. That cuts down on resistance on the electrical lines and insures that the amount of energy that you need for the stove to run properly is there.

It was just cheaper to run a couple extra feet of wire than to install a receptacle and cord and the terminal blocks were made to accept the wire.

i don't recognize code in Australia or how the present is determined up so that is difficult to point yet i am going to do the perfect i am going to to allow you to recognize what you want to search for. floor = Earth verify the guide to work out what the amperage isn't any matter if that is a 50 amp range then you really want a 50-amp fuse (40 on the smallest in case you opt for to advance the safe practices of the circuit). it is going to do not have any smaller then 8 gauge copper cord yet verify code to ascertain it is gigantic sufficient for the position you stay & the gap you may run it. 40 amp no smaller the 30 amp fuse & 10 gauge cord. again verify code. As for hook up use a tester to verify voltage between pink & black, pink & eco-friendly, & black & eco-friendly. Now with those readings if there isn't any examining between black & pink then that is a unmarried-section circuit. If between black & pink is two times as a lot as between pink & eco-friendly & black & eco-friendly that is a 2-section circuit. If there isn't any voltage between black & eco-friendly they're both grounds (black being neural & eco-friendly being floor. The guide could take you from there. hear it could be black & pink may warm. Making it a 2 section. for this reason it doesn’t mater which one the pink & black is hooked to so long because the floor is hooked to the floor on the range. i desire i did not make this to perplexing. better of success.

the only thing i can think of is a cord and plug costs money. it was cheaper to wire direct.
i still hard wire ovens, but only when they are the built in type.
