Important - Please read...

• Before using your Voltage Valet™ converter, check

to see if the electrical outlet is 110-120 volts
or 220-240 volts. Your converter will not work
in a 110-120 volt outlet, and both it and your
appliance may be seriously damaged or ruined if
used incorrectly.

• All Voltage Valet™ converters are equipped with

an internal shut-off and reset system. When it
becomes overworked it will automatically shut
itself off. Should this occur, remove the converter
from the outlet and allow a short period for it
to cool down and reset itself.

• Some motorized appliances may operate a bit

slower when used in foreign countries. This is
normal and will not harm your appliances.

• At times there may be a low humming sound in

the converter – this is normal.

• Remove your Voltage Valet™ converter from the

wall outlet when not in use.

Adaptor Plugs

Electrical wall outlets around the world differ in
shape, assortment, and arrangement of outlet holes.
The most common outlet requires two round pins
(Continental Europe type). These round pins have
been designed into all Voltage Valet™ converters.
Many countries, however, use other types of outlets
that require an adaptor plug. Voltage Valet™ offers
five different adaptor plugs for use with voltage
converters and dual voltage appliances.

A

No., So. & Central
America

B

Continental
Europe

C

Australia
New Zealand
& China

IMPORTANT NOTE: Adaptor plugs DO NOT
convert voltage. They only enable you
to plug your converter or dual voltage
appliance into a foreign wall outlet.
