Commercial grill: 220v vs 208v
I purchased a grill for my restaurant and the label shows that is 220 made in Brazil. The electrician said that needed to be identified as to be used as a a 208, otherwise can't be used. Is this correct or should I need to purchase a converter??

Welcome to the forums.
Most heating devices, like grills, will fork fine on slightly different voltages.
208v is the voltage you get with a three phase service.
If there are no "electronics"..... the grill will work on 208v but it will not get as hot....or as quickly.
For further help we'd need a link to the grill.

Most equipment will run fine on 208/240v which would fall under the +/- 10% rule of thumb. (voltage within +/-10% is considered normal) However, there is some equipment that is very voltage specific. If it is, the manufacture will list that in the owners manual.
