It should have directions for installation with a 3 wire outlet.
If not, contact the manufacturer for instructions.
(Basically, you connect the frame to the neutral and ignore the ground

WRONG WRONG WRONG.

The frame connects to *ground*. NOT neutral.


Are you just being obnoxious, or are you actually confused?
Since there are only three wires (two hots and a neutral), how could the
frame go to the ground?
Or are you obnoxiously claiming that the third wire, which on my cable is
called an "uninsulated neutral", is actually a ground?



Just call it "the grounded wire" and don't get sucked into the ground
vs. neutral argument. One an old 3-wire 240/120 circuit, the wire is
doing dual duty as a ground and a neutral. The stove should have
directions for connecting to such a circuit.

Is the old stove wired directly to a junction box, or does the cable
come out of the wall and terminate in the stove chassis, or is there a
big ugly brown receptical that it plugs into?
