Request a Diagram or Explanation to wire 220v-50/60hz UK 3-wire device

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on wiring a SIEMENS iQ700 glass downdraft extractor for use in the US, as it is designed for European voltage and frequency. The extractor operates at 220-240 V and 50/60 Hz, with a connection rating of 300 W and requires a 10 A fuse. The user seeks guidance on how to wire the 3-wire appliance to a US 220V service, suggesting the possibility of replacing the European plug with a US NEMA plug. They request a wiring diagram to assist in communicating the installation needs to a local electrician. The thread is temporarily locked pending the submission of the user's electrical work certifications.

TL;DR Summary
I am buying an appliance that is rated 220v-50/60hz, 10 amps, with a UK type GB plug (3-wire). I'd like to know how to properly wire that 220v 3-wire cord to a US plug (assume I snip it off)?
Planning a kitchen renovation.

We've found a SIEMENS iQ700 glass downdraft extractor [model LD98WMM60B] that we'd love to use. It, of course, is only available in EUROPE.

EAN code : 4242003907122
Connection rating : 300 W
Fuse protection : 10 A
Voltage : 220-240 V
Frequency : 50; 60 Hz
Plug type : GB plug

Question: We've confirmed with SIEMENS it will work fine in US 60 hz service. How do I wire the 3-wire appliance to US 220v 3 or 4 wire service? I Assume I can snip off the plug and install a US NEMA plug.
Diagram appreciated to help me understand your explanation and properly communicate it to local electrician.

Thanks.

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
