How do you connect the electrical cord which is sold separately to the range? The end of the wires on the metal encased wires now has a clip-on, but the cord I bought has the ends as shown in this picture. I have a three-pronged plug in the wall.

Answer Hi Mike. The three wire is a 240vac supply.. The outer "legs"/wires ( L-1 or L-2 ) tested with a volt meter should read 240vac. They are connected to the two outer terminals on the terminal block. The center wire is connected to the center terminal as well. From either ouside leg ( L-1 or L-2 ) you should have 120vac to the middle ( neutral ) wire. These correct voltages are very important so all components work correctly. You need to use the strain relief. Most people find it difficult to use. Put both halves in the hole and gently clamp with a pair of vise - grips. Then you can use a cordless drill to put the phillips screws in the clamp. This will protect the cord from barring short against the chassis and creating a possible dead short. Thank you.
