Almost all American residential systems are 240v. 60Hz.
What you need to know is load: Amperes or KW.
The papers that come with the range will give you that as well as at least the receptacle required.
More likely they'll tell you the breaker and wire sizes as well.
If you're lucky, the receptacle for the old range will be the same.
If not:
You will likely need a new breaker in your electrical panel. wiring to the range location, and a box, receptacle, and plate at the range location.
Unless you are already familiar with electrical work, this is not a DIY project.

Install the correct outlet receptacle, wire, and circuit breaker. Keep everything in compliance with the national, state, and local electric codes. Usually ranges are supplied by a 50 amp circuit.

You might find the info your looking for at the site below.
You can also got to Home Depot and talk to someonein the electrical department. They are usually pretty knowledgeable about that stuff. I know Home Depot carries the parts!
But, if you REALLY don't have much expertise in electrical work, I'd call a professional. Consequences you could suffer due to mistakes made during electrical work can be quite shocking!

It involves running the correct size wire,installing a new breaker,and a receptacle for a range. Considering the work to be done I think only an electrician should do it.

You are going to be working with atleast a 30 amp breaker (for 240 V) need to be installed in your breaker box. If you haven't had experience doing this, I suggest getting help from someone who has. Once the breaker is in you will run a 4 wire (heavy gauge) line to the new outlet box, near the new range's location.

Go to lowes or Home Depot & get a book on residential wiring. Some localities wont allow you to wire it yourself. Some require an election with permits & all. So goodluck.
