Step-down Transformer

Safety
Read the manual carefully before using the unit. As with most electrical appliances, electrical parts are
electrically live even when the switch is off. To reduce the risk of injury or death by electric shock:
•
PLEASE DO NOT USE A DEVICE THAT DRAWS MORE THAT 1.8AMPS. ANYTHING MORE WILL
OVERLOAD THE CIRCUIT.
•
Step up and down transformer unit should be placed in a dry and well ventilated area at all times. KEEP
THIS APPLIANCE AWAY FROM WATER.
•
Do not immerse the unit in water or other liquid.
•
Do not use while bathing.
•
Do not place or store where it can fall or be pulled into a bathtub or sink. If the appliance falls into
water, UNPLUG IT IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT REACH INTO THE WATER TO RETREIVE IT WHILE
IT IS STILL PLUGGED IN. DO NOT USE THE UNIT IF IT HAS BEEN IMMERSED IN WATER.
•
Always unplug the transformer immediately after use. Never yank the cord to disconnect from the outlet;
instead, hold the plug and pull to disconnect.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury:
•
Do not leave unattended when connected to electrical outlet.
•
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children or handicapped.
•
Use the transformer for its intended use only as described in this manual. Never use any attachments with
this unit that were not made specifically for use with this product.
•
Never operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the unit has been dropped or damaged. To avoid
the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the transformer. No user-serviceable parts are contained.
Instead, contact us for unit to be inspected. Incorrect reassembly can cause risk of electrical shock when the
transformer is used.
•
Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let transformer cool completely before putting away. Burns can
occur while touching hot parts.
•
Never drop or insert any other object into the transformer or any other openings.
•
Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol products are being used, where oxygen is being
administered, or in the presence of explosives and/or flammable fumes.
•
This appliance is intended for household and travel use only; it is not intended for commercial and industrial
use.
•
This transformer is intended for use with single phase alternating current (A.C.). Never plug the unit into a
direct current (D.C.) outlet.
•
It is recommended to use a transformer that has a rated power capacity of 3 to 5 of the load power because
the start-up current of these appliances are very high.
•
For capacitive load, just leave enough allowance on the rated power capacity of the unit to avoid
overloading.
•
Check your appliances for the rated power consumptions to avoid overloading the unit.
•
Make sure that appliances are switched OFF before turning on the transformer unit.

Included Items
•
1x 200W stepdown transformer
•
2x 2A / 240VAC fuses
Operation
Place the transformer on a firm, flat surface.
Be sure the ON/OFF power switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging (or unplugging) the power cord
into a 110-120VAC or 220-240VAC power source. NOTE: In some countries a Voltage Valet Grounded
Adaptor Plug will be needed to connect to 220-240 VAC power sources (see grounded adaptor plug list).
Step down mode: Set the INPUT VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch to 240VAC for use with 110-120VAC
appliances in countries with 220-240VAC power sources. Be sure your appliance’s ON/OFF switch is in the
“OFF” position and fully insert your 110-120VAC appliance plug into the 120VAC receptacle.
Turn the transformer’s ON/OFF power switch to the “ON” position. You are ready to use your appliance.
NOTE: Due to the constant reversing of the AC current flowing through it, this transformer may produce an
audible hum when turned on. This is normal and will not harm the transformer or any appliance plugged into
it.
Troubleshooting
1. No power at all / Switch not turning on:
Check the fuse at the back. Unscrew the "fuse" cap and check condition. Fig 1 is an example of a badly blown
fuse, however, Fig 2 is a clearer example of a standard blown fuse (notice the thin wire is broken).
Please replace with a 2A / 240V AC rated fuse (2 are provided with the unit
