Some people are surprised to learn that a new electric range does not come with a power cord. Until recently there were two different plug styles: 3-prong and 4-prong. It didn't make sense for appliance manufacturers to include a power cord if they don't know what style you'll need.

After we hauled the appliance into the house, we parked it on the kitchen floor to work on it.

This is the back side of the range after the box was removed.







Near the bottom there was a cover panel held in place by one s***w. I removed the s***w with a �" nut-driver.  





Behind the cover panel there was a row of three electrical connector screws, plus a green ground s***w.

The middle connection is neutral, the left and right connections are hot. This arrangement is common on 240-volt appliances.

Like many appliances, this stove has a metal enclosure for the electrical connections. This is like a built-in "junction box".







I bought a 4-wire range cord at Home Depot for about $10.  





This is called a "strain relief". The purpose of this device is to grab onto the outer jacket of the cord to prevent the individual wires from being pulled loose if somebody should yank on the power cord.





With one s***w left out, I placed the strain relief into the hole in for the power cord.  





I threaded the 4-wire power cord up into the connection "box".



Note that the red and black wires are "hot" wires. There is 240 volts of electrical potential between the two hot wires, and 120 volts between either hot wire and the white neutral wire. Green is ground.



Only For 4-Wire Cords:

Following the instructions on the back of the stove, I removed this copper bonding strip that connects the neutral line to the ground s***w.

You shouldn't wire it up because it is dangerous.

If you really want to do it. Switch off the power at the outseide mains on the inside DB and at the stove. Then turn the stove around and remove the back plate. there is normally a gland or a hole about 20mm in diameter for the gland where the connections are. Then you fit the cable through and connect the eath first to the open copper stud ot the stud with the green sticker or earth symbol (upside down tree) Then connect the neutral or black wire to the neutral stud and then the red wire to the live terminal. If you don't have a cable and only a switch then you need a three core 4mm^2 cable and then you need to connect it to the stove and then the switch. It is better to crimp on brass lugs first.

If most of the things aren't there rather call an electrician.
