Ground wire for dual fuel kitchen stove
 

Just installed a dual fuel (gas/220)stove in the kitchen, works perfectly.
My 220 had three #8 wires Black / White / Red, no ground. Back of stove
show a 4 wire hook-up ground being connect just below center white wire. I
did not install a ground as I only had three wire. Question: should I be
concerned about not having it grounded.
Question: Should I run a ground wire from frame of stove to ground.


Thanks in advance

Is the cable steel? If so, the cable, clamped into the box will ground it.

INSTALL THE GROUND!

Its a safety hazard as is:(

All 240 volt appliances are now 4 wire for safety.

In certain circumstances the neutral can be powered and a shock hazard.
currently your stove is not grounded at all and a BIG hazard

AGREED!
This is correct.
If the white wire should come loose, the frame of your range could
have 120 Volts on it!!!!
