RrR,

Unless there was an electric stove there before you will have to upgrade your wiring to the new stove. You will need a 50-amp double pole circuit breaker, a 50-amp receptacle for the range and enough 6/3W.G.(6 gauge, 3-wire plus a grounding wire) wire to go from your panel to the recptacle. Since you are now into the panel and working with 240 volts I would recommend finding someone with some electrical experience to assist you. Good luck.
