The practicality answer @1:16 is actually really good because of people who are wheelchair bound. Plugging into a wall outlet is much easier than reaching down to the floor.
here in Canada, we have the CEC article 26-744(4 & 6a-c) stating any cooking appliance requiring 50A or less to be installed into a dwelling unit shall have a 14-50R outlet be installed at 130mm (6") on center above the finished floor, on the wall behind the cooking appliance, with the ground slot oriented on any sides. And idealy, that outlet shall be flush-mounted on the wall if feasible. The branch circuit of appliances over 1500W shall be dedicated.
That's interesting because if you look at the installation instructions for this range, they only give a 7 1/2" high area behind the stove where the outlet will fit. So there's no way for the bottom of the outlet to be at least 6" from the floor or you won't be able to push the range flush with the back wall.

For Germany I would say that in certain conditions it may be ok to install a 230V socket, face up, in the floor. It must be ensured that no water flows into it or that it is in a place where many people walk over it and trip over it. Our church has a stage and there are sockets installed face up at the back of the stage. This allows musicians to power their guitar amplifiers and electric pianos. Maybe a small spotlight will be temporarily connected there for the Christmas performance. The stage is rearranged every now and then so that a power connection is always found.
i believe current code all 240v appliances have to be GFCI protected now "unless hardwired". always check with your local jurisdiction for code in your area theres nec and then what may be acceptable following the nec as long as its free of defects and follows good safe workmanship. all depends on jurisdiction and code inspector.
While you definitely should not use AI as a substitute for an electrician, you need to ask AI the same question you would ask when speaking about the code, using terms like "dedicated outlet", "free-standing", "plug-and-cord connected", etc and it will give much better answers.
It's one of those where if I was having the work done anyway I wouldn't choose to have it there, but I would leave it alone if the owner/builder had it done that way.
Yes you can to my knowledge. I looked at article 406, nothing doesn't permit it in there, and the only mention of receptacles not being permitted to be installed face up is 550.12(F)(2) - "(2) A receptacle shall not be installed in a face-up position in any countertop" (for mobile homes and prefab homes). And if water was a concern gfci breakers exist, floor enlcousers for the receptacles exist, so i believe its legal

I have had a few homes with it done this way. It prevents you from smashing the cord with the stove. It keeps the surrounding air flow free and clear.

It's not that much more of a hazard than a junction box in a ceiling but it's still stupid.

Yes, you can..
The outlet must be on its own circuit breaker. Or, connected to GFI on the wall and easily accessible.
I agree With You
