I have a electronic countdown timer designed to replace an in-wall wall

The time has 4 wires - black (line); white (neutral), Red (load) and
green (ground). So, how do I splice it into the power cord of my
appliance?

thanks

The black and red are the switched circuit. Ignore the neutral and
ground and splice that pair into one wire feeding the appliance. Be
neat and do it in a box.
