As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

You would connect the two hot wires (black and red) from the 240V outlet to the main bus bars of the sub-panel box. The neutral wire (white) should be connected to the neutral bar in the sub-panel box, and the ground wire (green or bare) should be connected to the ground bar in the sub-panel box. Be sure to follow all local electrical codes and regulations when wiring.

If not using your electric stove outlet and have a gas stove can you service your lower level under the kitchen of a back-split using the 240V service line to create a subpanel for lights and outlets?
It is not recommended to repurpose the 240V electric stove outlet for a subpanel for lights and outlets in a residential setting. This can create a safety hazard if not done correctly. It's best to consult with a qualified electrician to evaluate the setup and determine the best course of action to meet your electrical needs.
What is the difference between a 4 prong dryer outlet and a 4 prong stove outlet?
The four blade dryer plug brings a separate ground wire from the machine to the electrical grounding system. The three blade dryer plug depended on the neutral wire of the plug to make this connection.
What is the most cost efficient and quick way to fix the problem if you have a stove that has a four-prong cord and an outlet that only takes three prongs?
To fix this issue, you can replace the outlet with a four-prong outlet that matches the stove's cord. Alternatively, you can replace the stove's cord with a three-prong cord that fits your current outlet. Both solutions are relatively quick and cost-effective fixes for the mismatched prong configurations.

Do you need to replace a 240V outlet for the stove if it makes a cracking sound when the stove gets turned on?
Could be the outlet, could be an open wire, could be a loose connection. First thing I would do is check that the connections are tight. Then replace the outlet. That leaves the wiring... The connection is probably corroded. Check the plug, if it's black and pitted you probably should replace both the plug and outlet.

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.
How high off the floor should a outlet box be?
As close to the floor as possible, or on the floor. Remember you want the range to sit back against the wall. So you must mount the outlet so it goes into the opening at the bottom of the stove. Otherwise when you plug it in, the plug will hit the back of the stove.
If your outlet is a 3 prong outlet can you hook up a 3 prong plug from your old stove to a new stove which has a 4 prong plug?
No you can not you will need to replace the plug with a 4 prong the same as the style of your oven and change your breaker to the correct Amp for your style of 4 prong plug
How do you connect a 3-wire stove to a 4-wire outlet?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. In order to plug your 3 wire stove into a 4 wire outlet, the easiest way to do so is to change the cord on the stove. This does not require cutting power to the outlet or anything like that. Anyone who is going to be changing the power cable on any device knows that you need to unplug the cord first, eliminating the need to cut power to the outlet. The difference between a 3 prong and 4 prong outlet is the ground wire. Both provide 240v power by supplying 2 120v wires (red and black). There is also a white wire, which will be your neutral wire. The green wire is your ground, and should be bolted to the body of the stove. (Most appliances have a location for attaching the ground wire). When connecting your wires, there should be 3 wire locations. You should connect one of the two hot wires (red or black), then your white wire in the middle, and then your other hot. The green will be your ground.
