To find out what the wattage of your stove is look at the nameplate or check the specs. from the manual that came with it. Watts = Amps x Volts. Hypothetically your stove should be fed with a 40 amp breaker. The maximum wattage on the stove will be 40 x 240 = 9600 watts. As you can see different manufactures and different models will all be different.
