For most standard two-prong plugs, there is no difference in which prong goes into which outlet. The prongs are typically the same size and shape, so it does not matter which way you plug it in. However, if the plug is polarized (one prong is wider than the other), make sure to plug it in the correct way according to the outlet.
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.
This is a common topic here. Firstly, if you are installing new work go with a 4 prong oven outlet. 3 prong outlets are old and do not meet code for new work. To install, you need to run 6/3 romex wire from your main panel to your new outlet. Install the new outlet in a box behind your oven. Wire up the 6/3 in the panel to a 50A 240V breaker. Remember the color code: Black/red/brass screw is hot, White/silver screw is neutral, bare wire/green screw is ground. I also recommend buying a book on home electricity repairs. It will show you how to do it right and serve as a handy reference during the job. As always, do it right or hire someone to do it for you. Negligence is fatal with electricity.
The easy way is go to a hardware store and get a 6-way plus that plugs into both outlets in the dual and provides 6 outlets. There is a longer center screw that replaces the center screw in the duplex outlet cover. The harder way is to cut out sheetrock and replace the box.
You should not modify electrical plugs or outlets. If your stove has a 3-prong plug and your outlet is 4-prong, you should consider hiring a licensed electrician to install the correct outlet for your stove. Mixing and matching plugs and outlets can create a safety hazard and violate electrical codes.

Buy a tester. They are very cheap and will tell you at a glance if the outlets are wired correctly. The only other way is to remove the outlet and look see. But if it is a 2 prong outlet with no ground hole then it does not have a ground.
To properly install an outlet, first turn off the power to the circuit. Remove the cover plate and existing outlet. Connect the wires to the new outlet, matching the colors. Secure the outlet in the electrical box and attach the cover plate. Turn the power back on and test the outlet to ensure it is working correctly.

Up. ---- I'm not sure what the question is getting at. USUALLY THIS QUESTION IS ASKED WITH REGARD TO THE "GROUND" PRONG of a standard 3wire, 120 volt receptacle In the USA there are no requirements which dictate whether a receptacle outlet should be mounted with the ground UP or DOWN. In fact, it is also proper to mount the receptacle horizontally.
To safely install a male plug outlet in a home electrical system, first turn off the power to the circuit you will be working on. Remove the cover plate and old outlet, then connect the wires to the new outlet following the manufacturer's instructions. Secure the outlet in place and replace the cover plate. Turn the power back on and test the outlet to ensure it is working properly.
To install a 3-way switch outlet in your home, you will need to first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, remove the existing switch and outlet from the wall. Install the new 3-way switch by connecting the wires according to the manufacturer's instructions. Next, wire the outlet to the switch, making sure to connect the hot, neutral, and ground wires correctly. Finally, secure the switch and outlet back into the wall and turn the power back on to test the installation.
To install a 3-prong dryer cord, first make sure the dryer is unplugged. Then, remove the access panel to expose the terminal block. Connect the center wire to the center terminal, the left wire to the left terminal, and the right wire to the right terminal. Tighten the screws securely and replace the access panel. Plug in the dryer and test it to ensure it's working properly.
To install a 30 amp 4 prong plug for a new appliance, first turn off the power to the circuit. Remove the old plug and connect the wires to the new plug following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure to match the wires to the correct terminals (hot, neutral, and ground). Secure the connections, reassemble the plug, and test it before using the appliance.
