Voltage Valet VCCP - Manual

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 six different adaptor plugs for use
with voltage converters and dual voltage appliances.
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.
Below is a list of popularly traveled countries and the Voltage
Valet™ adaptor plug(s) required for each. Check the list to
determine which adaptor plug(s), if any, you need to operate your
voltage converter or dual voltage appliance. It is recommended
that you carry all of the adaptor plugs listed for each country.
NOTE: Some countries in Continental Europe have recessed
electrical outlets. Use the ‘B’ adaptor plug with your
voltage converter to fit into these recessed outlets.
• 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 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.
