I have to connect an electric range. The electrician told me I need 6 gauge cable with 4 wires, and needs to be connected to a 60 amp fuse or breaker. I already have a spare 60 amp fuse thingie that says RANGE on it, right next to the one that says MAIN. I cant afford to hire the electrician, and that 6 gauge wire is very expensive. Until I can afford to buy that wire, after my tax return in April, can I just use some old telephone wire that I have. It has 4 wires in it and should reach to the range, if I duct tape the two pieces together? The telephone wire is gray and has 4 wires inside red, green, yellow, and black. What color wire goes to what in the range and the fuse box?
