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 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
