Hotpoint Gas Cooker with Dounle Oven Instruction Manual. If there is a ground screw and it is not connected to the neutral with a strap or wire, follow the manufacturer's wiring diagram to make the proper ground-to-neutral connection. The wire makes an internal connection to the neutral. If there is a ground screw and it is connected to the neutral (center) terminal with a metal strap or small, white wire, leave the strap or wire in place. If there is no ground screw, no alteration is necessary. This is an internal neutral connection you will connect it to the neutral terminal along with the neutral cord wire just to keep it safely secured (it won't serve a purpose). If there is a small white wire connected to the ground screw, remove it from the ground and fit it onto the neutral terminal on the block. If there is a ground screw and it is connected to the neutral (center) terminal with a metal strap, remove the strap from the neutral terminal on the terminal block (you can remove the strap entirely or keep it attached under the ground screw). If there is no connecting strap or wire on the ground screw, the range is ready for the four-prong cord. If necessary, alter the ground-to-neutral connection as needed, depending on the type of cord you are installing: There may or may not be a ground screw near the terminal block-if present, this will be driven into the metal case of the appliance. There are three terminals in a line: the center terminal is neutral and usually has a white wire the left terminal is hot and may have a red or black wire the right terminal also is hot and may have a black or red wire. Note the wiring configuration on the terminal block.
