Should I hard wire it or install a 220 receptacle?

Receptical . Lot easier if you want to pull stove out to clean up under it.

I'm pretty sure code requires a receptacle.

I have never seen one hard wired.

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?

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