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.

What is wrong if you changed a four prong to a three prong and the dryer is not heating?
My question is WHY did you replace a four prong dryer plug with a three prong! 220 volt Electric dryers require two hot legs, a neutral and a system ground wire. Sounds as though you shunted one of the hots or the neutral. You need to install a four prong plug of the same configuration and wire it exactly as the original.

How do you hook a 220 volt treadmill to a 110 volt wall socket?
A 220 volt treadmill will not run on 110 volt power. if you would wire it to plug in, the low voltage would causes the treadmill to burn up. You will need to install a 220 volt receptacle for it to plug into and work properly. <<>> In the above answer the treadmill will not burn up but at these amperages it will make a very big flash if it shorted out. Also it must be some treadmill to draw 220 amps and I have never seen a 110 amp wall socket.
