Check to see if the existing feeder cable has a ground wire that is not
being used. If it does, get a four wire range (50 amp) outlet. If the feeder
is only three wire, replace the range cord set with a three wire range cord
set, and install the (usually included) bonding strap from the neutral
connection (white wire) to the frame of the range.
