1. Introduction
This instruction manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your Tmvel Schuko Universal to Europe Adapter Plugs. These adapters are designed to allow devices with various plug types to connect to Type E/F outlets commonly found in many European countries.
2. Product Overview
The Tmvel Schuko Universal to Europe Adapter Plug (Type E/F) is a grounded travel adapter. It features a universal input socket that accepts plugs from most countries, excluding the large Type M (8.7mm) South African plug. Additionally, it includes a secondary input specifically for 2-prong plugs from any country. The output is a Type E/F Schuko plug, suitable for use in countries such as Germany, France, Russia, and others that utilize this standard.

3. Safety Information
IMPORTANT: These adapter plugs do NOT convert voltage. Ensure your electronic devices are compatible with the local voltage (typically 220-240V in Europe) before plugging them in. Using a device not rated for the local voltage can cause damage to the device or create a fire hazard.
- Maximum Capacity: Up to 3000 Watts (max 250 Volt, 13 Amperes). Do not exceed this rating.
- For indoor use only.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not use in wet conditions.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the adapter.
- These adapters are designed for specific regions. They are not suitable for use in countries like the UK, Italy, or Switzerland, which use different plug standards.

4. Setup
- Verify Device Voltage: Before connecting any device, check its power adapter or label to ensure it supports 100-240V input. If your device is single voltage (e.g., 110-120V only), you will need a separate voltage converter, not just this adapter.
- Insert Device Plug: Insert your device's plug firmly into the universal input socket of the Tmvel adapter. For 2-prong plugs, use the dedicated 2-prong input.
- Connect to Wall Outlet: Plug the Tmvel adapter (with your device connected) into a Type E/F wall outlet. Ensure a secure connection.
5. Operating Instructions
Once properly connected, your device should receive power from the European outlet. The adapter facilitates the physical connection; it does not alter the electrical characteristics of the power supply. Always monitor your devices during initial use to ensure proper function.
The adapter's internal metal interfaces are designed for better conductivity, ensuring a reliable connection for your devices.
6. Maintenance
- Keep the adapter clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth if necessary.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Avoid dropping or subjecting the adapter to strong impacts.
- Do not force plugs into the adapter or wall outlet.
