1.) Page 5 of the installation manual says the oven requires a 120/240v, 3-wire with ground circuit fused at 15 amps. The manual also says 3.6kW (3600 watts / 240 volts = 15 amps). In any case, you'll need 3 wire plus ground cable. You might want to give the German engineers a call and see if they have any explanation. ;-)

Frankly the "industry low 15 amp" stuff sounds like a bunch of marketing bovine defecation to me. Smaller wire is a little cheaper but watts are watts.

2.) A double pole, 15 amp breaker.

3.) Not sure about that one. Ron or Pete will be along soon.

Thanks for the reply, Mike. The 3 wire with ground was a 9800.0MX in 9800.5MX they went with 3 wires (go figure) and the manual that has infor for UK and Ireland only. Since it clearly says 60Hz and has USA on the box I assumed the stove is made for US market. Emailed to Germany already to no avail. USA rep said "people put them on different breakers" I just hope this darn thing cooks well when I hook it up. Otherwise it is pain in a rear

From what I saw this oven is expensive and one would hope you'd get a bit more support from the manufacturer. Given the information you have, I'd probably use 12 gauge wire and a 20 amp breaker. You could start with a 15 amp breaker and see if you experience any nuisance tripping and then switch to a 20 amp if necessary (using 12 gauge wire to run the circuit). Breakers aren't very expensive.

I'm not going to search for you, but I seem to remember someone here having essentially the same question not too long ago. That is, installation of two Gagg ovens with an existing single oven/range circuit in place. I don't remember the consensus.

You could (if you complied with other requirements) tap a 50A range circuit for multiple units. This however is only 40A.

they left the us market, therefore the customer service is not top notch if it ever was. I will try to do exactly what you suggested. After all NEC table does list demand factor at 80% for the ovens less then 8kW
