If the metal \"feet\" are pitted or charred, replace the element as well. Reusing a damaged element will quickly destroy your new WB2X8228 receptacle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a wire stripper to expose about 1\/2-inch of clean copper on the range's wiring. Twist the new leads and the range wires together tightly before securing them with the provided ceramic wire nuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Routing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ensure the new wires are tucked away from the bottom of the burner box.
