Then strip the three-core cable. The blue and red wires must be connected to the “phase” and “zero” contact groups, and the remaining white is fixed in the “grounding” connector (the colors of the wires may be different). We collect the plug, which is then plugged into a power outlet that can withstand the power of an electric oven.
