So, do the black and red go in X and Y? I would assume so, as it needs 240V to run a stove...but just want to throw it out there for checking.[right][snapback]229593[/snapback][/right]

Yes, you have it correct. Looking at the plug side, the round/d-shaped hole is the ground, the common/neutral is the blade opposite. The line wires go on the other two blades.

Proper wiring practice is to make sure that the receptacle is:
a ) Above the finished floor at a height not exceeding 130 mm to the centre of the receptacle; and
b ) As near midpoint as is practicable, measured along the floor line of the wall space intended for the electric range; and
c ) With the U-ground slot orientated to either side
d ) and there is a ground connection between the device box, ground wire and the plug.
