Changing an Oven/Range. Electrician Mags?
Should say "Changing Range Outlet" in Title.
I usually stay far away from electrical work. Love some carpentry, and will even plumb if it doesnt involve poo, but electricity and I aren't friends. The extent of my experience is basically mounting and installing light fixtures, installing disposal, shit like that. So, I bought a new Range and dint realize that it had a different male plug on it than the previous Range and thus I need to swap out the female outlet.
Need to install an outlet that will fit this guy:

Besides making damn sure the power is off, I assume this should be pretty intuitive? What am I going to find when I chop the outlet head off to install a new one. As you can see, the plug I will be using has 4 prongs wheres as the old one only had three. Is it an added ground on the new plug? Will I find another wire in the old outlet casing for an added prong?
(1) If doing this (outlet change, not plug change) is the right angle, what will I encounter?;
(2) Should I be changing the plug instead?;
(3) Am I fucked due to voltage incompatibility/Do you need more info on voltage and amps for the units?
