<p>European power distribution uses one hot leg and neutral to make
220/240. North American power uses two 120 volt hot legs to add up
to 240 and the neutral is half way between at ground potential. So
a European cooker has L N E (Line, Neutral, Earth) markings and
North American appliances have L1, L2, N, G. (L1 = Line 1, L2 =
Line 2, G = Ground = Earth.) UK/European color codes are all over
the map but NA wire colors use Black and Red for hot legs, white
for neutral and green or bare copper for ground. Hook up NA Black
and Red to UK L and N. Hook NA Green or Bare Copper to UK E.
Don't connect NA White (N) to anything. As long as the induction
part of the system doesn't care about 60 Hz. vs 50 Hz. it should
work. <br>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
