I've been told that it's not safe to run the stove with a 60 amp breaker, and I've been told that it's not necessary to change the breaker. Two electricians that I contacted told me different answers. I'll pay to have it switched if I have to, but I'm trying to avoid having any type of inspector come into my house. I'd rather just plug the new stove in and go with it as it is but I want to be safe.
Just like a newbie gun owner trying to wade through the info out there.
