Need to know how many amps or watts and at how many volts the oven or ovens are rated at? And are you saying you are switching from three prongs to four?

The oven says 208-240 volt and 60 amps and what I would like to do is plug into my generator that has a 4 prong plug for 240 volt and the oven only has three wires plus a copper ground wire

Does the oven have a plug now or just wires coming out? And are you sure the generator can take 60 amps?

That generator does not even put out close to enough power to run more than one burner on the cooktop.
