the current standard I believe is 450mm from finished floor height, although there are many installations that have it at 300mm from finished floor height.
There are no hard and fast rules, the most important thing is that it is relatively local to the stove (normally directly behind it), and easily accessable when the stove is pulled out for safe connection/disconnection.

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?
