If the stove outlet is on the first floor and you have an unfinished basement, then you go to the electrical panel and pull the fuse block out of the panel. Now it is safe to work on the outlet by the stove. Pull the stove plug out of the outlet, (it may be stiff so you'll have to work at it to get it free.) Once you have the four prong plug removed from the outlet, push the stove out of the way so you have room to work.
Remove the face panel from the outlet. There will be four wires attached to the outlet.
The colour coding is black (power wire, red (power wire, white (neutral wire) and green (ground wire). unscrew the nut holding each wire to the outlet. Loosen the cable clamp holding the wire cable to the box.
Now someone must go downstairs and pull the cable while a helper feeds the cable free of the box and down through the floor. Find your new location on the selected wall for the stove and drill a hole through the floor large enough to feed the stove cable up through the floor. Note: Make sure that you have sufficient cable to reach the new location for the stove. If the cable isn't long enough, you'll have to re-measure the distance from the panel to the new box location and buy a new length of stove cable.
Note: If the new location is closer to the electrical panel, then you will need to cut the cable down to the appropriate length.
Remove the box from its original place and attach it to the new wall. Feed the cable up through the floor and wire it into the outlet, and replace the face cover. Push the fuse block back into the panel and test the stove elements and the oven elements to make sure everything is ok.
If you had to replace the cable for a longer one then you need to disconnect the original from the electrical panel. CAUTION! Do not work on a live board! If you're going to do this part of the job yourself, then have a helper hold a flashlight on the board and throw the switch which controls the power to the main panel. You can now safely work on the board. If electricity is a total mystery to you, then I suggest you get an electrician to do it for you. Better to be safe than sorry.

How is energy used by using an electric stove to boil some water?
The electric stove is plugged into a wall, and that plug in the wall is connected to other energy sources coming from the ground, like those energy plants you probably see around your town that are gated. The energy is coming from that, and the energy is electricity also.. ? I may sound a little off, but there's a start to your answer.
How do you convert a 4 plate stove which uses a circuit breaker to a wall plug?
You still need a circuit breaker. From your question it appears your stove is hardwired to the panel. It is perfectly acceptable to connect it to a suitably specified outlet and plug for the voltage and amperes for the stove. Basically you would turn off the breaker, install an outlet on the floor or wall so as not to interfere with stove. You can buy cords with the proper plugs and mating receptacles in most any hardware store. For an electric stove with an oven you are usually talking about a 50A breaker and the corresponding outlet and plug. This can be dangerous and if you are not sure of what you are doing an electrician is highly recommended.

What space is needed around a wood burning stove?
The gap around the stove to the wall really depends on the stove manufacturers guidelines. My stove has a gap of 50mm (5cm) all the way around. The UK building regulations 'document J' states that a minimum gap of 150mm should extend from the side of the front doors of the stove to the edge of the hearth and a minimum of 300mm to the front. A stove that is close to the wall will have poorer air circulation around it meaning the heat released to your room will be less. Think of it like standard UK radiator, it sits a few inches from the wall to allow air circulation, if it was flush to the wall all you are doing is spending your hard earned cash heating the wall. A lot of people seem to think that the gap around the stove needs to be 150mm to the wall but this is not the case.
