I have an un-used 40 amp range circuit and I want to use it as a temporary 2X120 Volts 20 Amps circuits using a 3X12 gauge wire. I'll be using the wall range connector. Do I have to change the 40 A breaker to 2 one pole 20 amp breaker or can I keep the 40 amp 2 pole breaker. Thanks

Yes you have to add 2 twenty amp single pole breakers. Get rid of the 40 amp breaker
