RrR,

First, I am not an electrician.
Second, here is your answer... The first thing you need to know about electricity is that it takes the easiest path to ground so... please ensure the circuit is dead before you disconnect or reconnect any wires. All new stoves since 1995 in North America use a standard connection, it looks like this You connect the bare copper (ground) to the round terminal at the top. Connect the White (Neutral) to the bottom terminal. Connect the Black(110 Hot) to one side and the Red(110 hot) to the other side. Notice the voltage between the terminals should therefore be 110v between either of the hots and the ground or neutral and 220v between the two hots.

Hope this helps, Jim
