You get a two wire plug!!

You should never try to skip connecting the ground wire, the soul purpose of the ground is to create safety for you and others around you.

the problem is that someone may assume that the ground is part of the wire since the plug is a three wire!!

\You will have to skip the ground terminal on the plug. Usually plug has a green screw or wire, ground pin is longer than two other and round in shape.

Use a UL approved grounding adapter for this, it has either a fork terminal that goes over the wall plate's screw, or an actual pigtail that must be attached to a good ground.

The range 4 wire plug kit should have with it a grounding lug that connects to the frame of the stove. If not buy a small #2 lug and bolt it to the frame of the stove. This is the attachment point for the fourth green ground wire from the new range cord assembly.
