I get snip happy sometimes and my reply to your previous post, I did
snip what I wanted, and left what I didn't want. Oh well.
The extra wire came from the power cord that goes from the range to the
new receptacle. The receptacle was wired using the existing cable that
came from the breaker box. It is a full 220/240 whatever it is because
it uses two blocks in the circuit breaker box. How it was wired to the
receptacle is not known to me because I don't know about these things so
hired a licensed electrician and hope he did his job right.
You guys are making me feel like I was ripped off and now have to worry
about a fire.
