What type of power cord should be used for an electric range?
An electric range should use a heavy-duty power cord that is rated for high voltage and amperage, typically a 4-prong cord with a 240-volt rating.
How do you connect your range to a three prong outlet?
A range, when purchased new, can be supplied with either a 4 prong plug or a 3 prong plug. It is the purchaser's choice and when you bought a new range, the seller should have asked you which type you need. If he didn't, you should go back and have him provide a new 3 prong cord and plug in exchange for the new 4 prong type.If the range was not purchased new, you'd have to purchase a 3 wire cord and plug at a home store or electrical equipment supplier and change the cord. There will be instructions in the back of the range when you open it up advising how to change the cord and showing how to hook it up to a 3 wire outlet. It is much better - and safer - to upgrade the outlet to a 4 prong version. The requisite wiring may already be in place. For a 240 Volt range you need two "Hot" wires (red and black), a "Neutral" wire (white) and a Ground wire (green or bare copper wire). If that wiring is not already in place, you'll need to rewire the range supply circuit from the breaker box to be safe. It will be a either a small job or a large job but, either way, necessary. For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any workANDalways use an electricians test meter having metal-tipped probes(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Can you convert 4 prong dryer cord to 3 prong?
Probably not. The reason is the amperage required by the electric range. They typically require 50 amp whereas a dryer normally only requires 30 amp. Therefore, the wiring feeding the dryer is not large enough to support an electric range. Your range should be wired with #6 or 8 gauge wire, whereas your dryer is likely only wired with # 10 gauge which will not carry 50 amps.
