You can do it, on the four prong plug you have 2-hot(120v+120v=240v) 1-neutral 1-ground, on a 3-prong plug you have 2-hot and 1-neutral but no ground. on old electrical systems the neutral and ground bar were wired together. and that system worked fine,now they are isolated. There are no adaptors to do this you will have to change the oven pigtail with a four prong one and use 2-hots(black and red wires) and connect the neutral (white wire) to the green ground wire and attach the green wire to the metal body of the stove or change wall outlet to a four prong (although this is not recomended) you'll have to see if your panel has a isolated neutral bar. Best left to the pros as one wrong touch will give you a one way trip to the pearly gates. Hope this helps. p.s. I've found most ovens will have instructions on how to connect ether pigtail to it ,if its old hop on the net go to mfg.website put in model # usually there are installation manuals avalable.
