Look in the back of the range receptacle box that is in the wall. The three wires coming in should have a bare ground wire in the cable set.

If you find it back there under a screw terminal just add another short piece of wire under the screw and then connect the other end of the short wire to the new ground terminal on the new four position receptacle. The wire should be equal in size to the size of the wire that exists around the ground terminal now.

This wire is to be bonded on each end.
