Live to L1 or L2, neutral to com, earth to its usual connection.

You should have two reds and earth; not to worry the electrician has used the wrong cable!. Connect the earth to the earth terminal with a bit of green sleeving over the bare cable, connect one of the other cables to COM and the other to L1 or L2; doesn't matter which.
