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

Click For 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
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 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
