There is a little adapter which does this for you. It is available in Canada and CSA certified. It is available at Home Depot. Just plug it into the 240 volt outlet and you now have a 120 volt outlet, which is protected by its own internal 15 amp fuse. This device is to be used for one specific use only and that is to safely convert an electric range outlet when a gas ranges is replacing the electric range. Gas ranges need a 120 volt supply to operate and this device is used so that the range receptacle can supply the needed 120 volt supply. See related linksbelow.
It is a receptacle outlet wired into a home with the capacity to handle the amperage rating of the range. The cord on the range plugs into this receptacle to receive its power supply so that the range can operate.
Yes
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. It wasn't brought to the receptacle because there was no place for it on the three wire receptacle 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. If the house is so old that the range cable did not have a ground wire in it the code allows a separate green ground #10 wire to be taken from the breaker panel box to the existing range receptacle This wire is to be bonded on each end. At the panel end to the ground buss and at the receptacle end around the ground screw at the back of the box unbroken and then to the new four position receptacle ground lug.
In North America the standard receptacles and switches are rated at 15 amps. A dryer receptacle is rated at 30 amps and a range receptacle is rated at 50 amps. New code rules are allowing 20 receptacles in some specific locations.
No, it can be set flush with the wall. Just remember that the cord end is a 90 degree plug and leave room if the receptacle is close to the floor.

A range top replacement is best done by a professional installer.
Black and red are the hot wires, white is the neutral and if there is a bare one, that is the ground. The plug and receptacle should be in the shape of a Y. The top two prongs are the hot and the single bottom one is the neutral. Black and red can go to either of the top ones.
Yes
Yes, this is a safe connection. A range is usually wire rated at 40 amps and the manufactures do not make a 40 amp rated receptacle. The code requires the next highest rated receptacle be used which is a 50 amp rating. This is why the range receptacle is rated at 50 amps. This receptacle is known as a 3 pole 4 wire grounding receptacle, 14-50R 125/250 volt. Black wire to terminal X, red wire to terminal Y, white wire to terminal W and ground wire to terminal G.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Range receptacle three to fourFirst thing to do is turn off the breaker to the range. 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. It wasn't brought to the receptacle because there was no place for it on the three wire receptacle. 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.

Maybe not. Since there is no wire with a rating of 50 amps exactly there may be 60 amp wire already installed. Range's use a #8 wire with 50 amp range receptacle for its circuit. If the wire that is installed now is # 6, that is good for 65 amps, then no wire needs to be changed. The only 60 amp receptacle that will be allowed on the 60 amp cable is a three pole four wire grounding 125/250 volt device. The number will be 14-60R. There is a three phase rated receptacle in the three pole four wire grounding type. It is a 15-60R.

Since the range fan is a self contained unit all it needs for a supply is an unswitched 120 volt source. You need to take a two wire cable from the source receptacle to the knockout hole in the fan assembly. If the receptacle you are taking the supply from is a kitchen counter outlet be cautious as those receptacles have two 120 volt sources in them. They should be connected to a two pole 15 amp breaker in the distribution panel . The new fan cable just has to be paralleled to one of the existing outlets. White to white, black to black and ground to ground.
