I'm replacing an old drop in unit that was hard wired and I want to install
a range outlet. I know it has it has a red,black and white wire. Red is
hot,black is ground and white is neutral. But thrtr is an unwrapped wire
and I don't know what to do with it. Any help would be appreciated.


Red is hot
Black is hot
White is neutral
Bare is ground

On the receptacle, the red and black wires go to the two brass colored
terminals (one to each, order doesn't matter), white goes to the silver
colored terminal and the bare goes to the green colored terminal.
