splicing aluminum to copper elec wire
I just bought a new oven and it came with aluminum wire and I have to splice it to copper. Do I need to do something different for this connection? I know aluminum and copper doesn't play well toge...

I am a bit shocked that any appliance would come with a aluminum wire lead.. Typically there is an access panel that gives you terminals so you can add a pigtail with plug of your choice or you add your own wire to the oven terminals.. Check to see if there is a terminal box..
Same here. Reading this thread thinking, who would make an oven with loose wires hanging out. You have stud terminals and hook a store bought cord with 14-50 or whatever is called for plug on it, and plug it in and slide it in place. Done. Something is not right here.
