On opposite sides of the outlet you have a pair of gold colored screws and a pair of silver colored screws. Attach the black wire to either gold screw and the white wire to either silver screw. You also have a screw off by itself near the bottom (or top) of the outlet. The bare wire is attached to it. When attaching the black & white wires scrape off only enough insulation to wrap the bare part partially around the screw. You should not have insulation underneath the screw and you should not have a lot of exposed bare wire (especially the black wire). When wrapping the wire around the screw wrap in the same direction you will be tightening the screw. When the wires are wraped around the screws tighten the screws good & tight. This takes patience with #12 wire as it is not easy to bend. Use needle nose pliers to help you.

The black wire is the hot wire. The white wire is the ground. The bare wire is the safety ground.

Connect the white wire from the new plug to the center lug. Connect the green wire from the plug to the stove frame.
