What happens here

Working under the counter, take the flexible conduit from the new cooktop and connect its wires to the house's electrical wires. First, gently twist the bare ends of corresponding wires (black to black, red to red, ground to ground) together to create a tight connection. Then, screw a wire nut onto each twisted pair, ensuring the connection is secure. For added safety and to prevent accidental dislodging, wrap each wire-nutted connection with electrical tape, just as the old connections were. Finally, feed the connected wires and conduit back into the electrical box in the wall and secure the conduit faceplate back in place using the Phillips head screwdriver.

Goal: Electrically connect the new cooktop to the household power supply

[Music] Now, we're just going to take our wires. You want to twist the wires to make sure they're not frayed and so they're nice and tight. So, just twist them in one direction. Get them tight. Begin making our electrical connections just with our wire nuts. We're going to screw our wire nuts on and then for extra security, we'll wrap them with electrical tape just like they were before. Just going to wrap it with electrical tape. Now, this will make sure those wire nuts are on there secure. It'll keep them from twisting off. And once those connections are made, you just want to bend stuff your wires back into the hole. And then you're going to screw your plate right back where it was. There was two screws that were securing this plate to the wall. Then we had one conduit connection just securing the conduit to the wall so it's not just hanging loose so you don't have any pots and pans or anything. I could grab it and catch it and pull on it.
