I am thinking i need to run and wire from the ground screw and attach it to the black negative cable....




 
Nevermind
 
Where to ground at is a good question.. I searched it and got different answers depending on where it's used. Maybe someone with experience will respond...I'd like to know too..
 
Well i attached a wire to the ground screw and it did nothing to correct the polarity, and i am told by a person that had the same issue, the stove will still run, and they were told by the manufacturer to disregard, the error on the stove and just use it..
 
Does the stove report that error when you plug it into the wall? Something is wrong.
 
When i plug it into the wall, there is NO error.... when i plug the stove into the inverter , i get the letter " N " meaning the Polarity is reversed..

According to what i read, this is common and too just use it..when i plugged the stove in and seen the error i unplugged it, but i guess it will still run.
 
Common for that inverter or your stove?
 
Its common for an inverter to have reversed polarity, if it was not for the stove showing an error in the control panel i would have never known, say if i was using the inverter to power other appliances.
 
For that inverter I think. Sounds like the hot and neutral are reversed.
