Plugging a stove into Swiss socket

Hello Everybody,
I recently moved to Geneva and got a flat from a Regie.
As I started buying the kitchen appliances I found that I have an  ancient stove socket: 3-Phase +N+E 15A - 500V (Pic 1).
The stove I bought has completely different outlet which seems to be 1 Phase +N +E 25A 230V (Pic 2). Judging from the scheme of the stove it supports connecting to 3 Phase socket (Pic 3).
First solution could be to replace the stove outlet so can anyone tell me where I can find such old  3-Phase +N+E 15A - 500V outlet for reasonable price (second hand is ok).
Second option could be to replace both stove outlet and kitchen socket with modern ones ( I checked the price of the parts - would be around 100chf ) but I am not sure if the Regie will like the fact that I am doing it myself.


Third option could be asking the Regie to do it. But I guess they will call a certified Swiss electrician and I will have to pay more than 300 chf for that service. 


So if anyone have an advice to share that would be much appreciated.

Hi Leo, 


I discovered a British electrician based in Geneva for some years. He's done great work for us. His name is Wayne Grigg. He's friendly, professional and very reliable. His quotes are very reasonable too! His details in case you need some assistance follow.

I can vouch for Wayne as well.  Totally reliable, knows what he's doing and did a very good job of tiling my kitchen.  (But yes, he is actually an electrician).  Very nice guy.
