Welcome Maggiemoos, to the best darn DIY'r site on the web.

No matter how good the site is, it is difficult to respond to some questions.

Are trying to install a stove that has to plug, or are you trying to hardwire a stove that has a plug.

You will have to purchase a female recepticle which matches the plug and wire the old hard wire connection to it. This is not a difficult task, make sure you power down the breaker to the stove and then check for voltage before attempting any changes.

if it's 3 wire cord make sure grd strap[on range] is connected to neutral.
