Welcome to the forum.
It needs mains power.. as it says. 220-240V. A phone charger will not do this.
What is the fan for?
I'm a bit reluctant to tell you how to wire as this is mains power and can be dangerous.
Does the cable have anything at the end of it, like a connector of any sort?
A pic of the whole thing will be useful.

Basic two wires at the end. Would the fan increase my bill if I would leave it for too long? I'll make a cooler with my 3d printer. Also I want to ask why does the fan use 220-240 V when its a little bit mire powerfull than a 12V?
 
That fan is designed to be used within an enclosure such as an amplifier, printer, etc...

Buy a 12 volt computer fan that you should be able to power from either your 3D printer supply or another PSU, much safer than messing around with that.
 
Generally those fans mount onto something, be it within an enclosure, or onto 19" rack panels - this is what the corner mounting holes are for. What are you using it for? Nothing against the OP, but I hope I'm not the only one thinking it's slightly crazy that you can apparently make a cooler using a 3D printer, but attaching two wires to a 13A plugtop... :)
