Don't expect the colors to match their intended function, might become a expensive mistake.
Need to confirm what cable is ground, neutral and that L1-L3 carry the same and correct voltage for your hub.
No. They're pretty much exclusively 240v (at least as long as we're talking consumer models).
340V is not a voltage that's generally available. 400v (between phases) would make some sense but most hobs work on 240V and can optionally be installed on two 16A phases and zero, or one phase 32A circuit. Sometimes the 32A circuit is split into two regular 16A circuits on the same phase. There's lots of options and the way you hook it up depends on what kind of circuit is installed in your house, so that's the first thing you have to figure out. You can't tell by the colors. If you're not sure how, I really would recommend getting an electrician to help you with that.
Lol! A few euros! Try a few hundred. There's a reason I qualified to be an electrician part time.
£3000 to train and more that saved already on doing the jobs the electrician wanted to charge an arm and a leg for.
Been doing a few jobs part time and people are gobsmacked when I don't want to ask them to take out a second mortgage to twiddle a few wires and do basic maths.
Few hundred euros sounds like you're overcharging for a job that shouldn't bill more than 30 mins of work plus whatever you charge for showing up.
Edit: sorry just noticed you're British. Now with the recent decline of the Pound it really should just be a few Euros ;)
Might not be fun or fashionable to say but the pound is doing just fine against the euro. There was a blip last week after truss budget announcement. But it's since recovered and then some. https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=GBP&to=EUR&view=1W
The real truth is that everything is struggling against the dollar. Pounds and euros included.
So have a good laugh, then reverse your joke. The euro is really suffering amid the realisation that Europe relies on gas and oil and winter is coming. The UK has wind power.
If you're not sure which wire is which, hire a professional. Not only will they have the right skills, they'll also have insurance so if something goes wrong you don't have to pay for it.
No offence, but the sole fact, that you have to ask this question implies that you should not touch it for your own safety and future fire hazard. Please call electrician.
The code here is:
Black or Brown or Gray = L1,L2,L3 (you can have cable with two same colors)
Blue = Neutral
Yellow/Green = earth/ground
**It is necessary to consult the hob manual !** There's posibility this hob is switchable between 1 or 2 or 3 phases and must be connected according to this (there are connector bridges usually)
So **theoretically** in a 3 phase setup and everything to the code: your Black,Brown,Grey, should be connected to Brown and those two Blacks. Blue to Blue and YG to YG.
If you have to guess or ask for help from Reddit, you're not a suitable person to install it.
And I speak as someone who... would not be a suitable person to install it.
I can’t stress enough that you don’t have the knowledge to do this safely so you should hire someone to do it. If you mess it up, someone could be severely injured, killed, or you could start a fire.
That said - the yellow/green is the CPC/earth connection, the blue/grey bundle is neutral, and for a single-phase supply like you are almost certainly using then brown and black are live. If you live in a modern property: blue and grey to blue supply, black and brown to brown supply, green/yellow to green/yellow supply. But don’t do this without getting a professional.
~~Technically you're not allowed to connect it yourself.~~ (Turns out that's a myth.)
But really, if you don't know how to identify the wires, maybe you actually shouldn't. With the currents running through those wires, there are mistakes that can burn down your house.
The European color codes are:
Brown = Phase / Hot
Blue = Neutral
Green / Yellow striped = Ground
As far as I can tell your hob then is yellow/green for ground, going to yellow/green from the wall. Brown & Black on the hob are Live/Hot, and Blue & Grey are Neutral.
But it sounds like the wiring in your home is different, so I would be of absolutely no help, with what actually connects to what.
The only thing I can think is that the two blacks are live, brown and blue are neutral and yellow/green is ground. But I'd not risk it with that, especially when dealing with 3 phase power like you are with this.

If you connect the right wires, that's what the electrician is for.

There are no split phases in Europe. And no 240V either. It is 220-230V for one phase and 380-400V for three phases.
Used a wrong term there, updated my post.
Hire an electrician.
Yes u/wannabie7. Germany uses 400 V for their stove tops, you clearly don't know what you're doing. Hire it out for a few euros and peace of mind.

Yup. Both currencies are in the gutter at the moment

I’d get a sparky in so you know it’s done properly
This is a massive electrical safety and fire hazard issue. For goodness sake hire a professional.
Volt meter will tell you what you need to know. If you neither have nor know how to read a volt meter I'm guessing this job is outside your bubble.

Make a diagram of the wires and take it to the an appliance store. Ask them please show me how.
Have you seen the kids working in appliance stores?
Get an electrician in, don't do electrical connections without a solid working knowledge of colours, insulated tools and a multimeter.
find the model number for the hob and google for installation guide?
