Should I hard wire it or install a 220 receptacle?

I'm pretty sure code requires a receptacle.
I have never seen one hard wired.

Introduce it to the dishwasher over a few drinks.

If its a built it can be direct connected.
If its a push in range - 4 wire, 50 amp receptacle

Just to clarify.
Hard wiring would require a junction box and carflex
Which is just as much if not more work than just installing a recep

If it's a cooktop only, it is set up to hard wired.
If it's a free standing range (stove/oven) then it will need a receptacle.

Well, what is the appliance wired for? Does it have a pigtail or plug?

Had to replace the old slide in range/ oven. the old one was hardwired. I disconnected it and was gonna hardwire the new on in the same way. The delivery / installation man told the wife that we needed a receptable to "safely" install the new one. wires are already there...I just have to hook them into the back of the stove.
Dude told the wife some shite about "if no recepticle, then lightening could fry the stove or start a fire"...
My main question is "will it burn my house down?"

Reciptical. Hard wire means you need an electrician just to install a new stove.

Not true, hard wire is very common.
Maybe one in three.

No, a lot of appliance installers don't know the first thing about the appliances they install.
You are fine hard wiring it.
All you have to do is cut the breaker off, wire it up and turn the breaker back on.
Black wire left, white in center, red in right, green or bare to ground screw, if no ground screw then wire it to white.
Simple.

Cool. This is what I decided on. Old one was hardwired. so I just did the same. 3 screws and 3 wires. back in business now. not sure if its up to code these days...but I will worry about that later...

A REAL man would hard wire it to 69kV.........and work hot.

Three wire is fine, you still have the ground through neutral.
