4. Connect Appliance: Plug your appliance into the appropriate output socket on the front of the transformer. For 110V appliances, use the 110V output sockets. For 220V appliances, use the 220V output sockets.
5. Connect to Power: Plug the transformer's power cord into a grounded wall outlet that matches the selected input voltage.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: After completing the setup, turn on the power switch on the transformer (if present). The power indicator light should illuminate.
2. Activate Appliance: Turn on your connected appliance.
3. Monitor Operation: Observe the transformer and appliance for normal operation. If any unusual sounds, smells, or overheating occur, immediately turn off the transformer and disconnect it from the wall outlet.
4. Power Off: When finished, turn off your appliance first, then turn off the transformer's power switch, and finally unplug the transformer from the wall outlet.
