2. Remove the old range and unplug it from the outlet.
3. Install a new 240-volt outlet if needed, following local electrical codes.
4. Connect the range's power cord to the outlet, matching the wires (red to red, black to black, white to white, and green to green).
5. Secure the connections with wire nuts and electrical tape.
6. Plug in the range and slide it into place.
7. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker and test the range to ensure it is working properly.
