Important Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the device or connected appliances, please read and understand the following safety guidelines:
- This converter is designed for mechanically controlled appliances only. It is NOT suitable for electronic devices with digital temperature control, automatic shut-off, touch screens, or smart chips (e.g., Dyson/Shark Flexstyle products, certain coffee makers, blenders, or ovens).
- Always check the wattage of your appliance. The 2000W AC socket is for high-power devices like hair dryers (mechanically controlled). The two 200W AC sockets are for lower-power devices like straighteners or curling irons (total output not exceeding 200W).
- Do not overload the converter. Exceeding the rated wattage can cause overheating and damage.
- Ensure proper ventilation. Do not cover the converter during use.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Do not expose to water or extreme temperatures.
- Unplug the converter from the wall outlet when not in use.
