Combination 2-in-1 Converter unit enables either your electronic 50 watt appliance or your non-electronic 1600 watt heating appliance to run on foreign electricity (220 volts). (In the USA we run on a lower voltage system of 110-130 volts).

The 50 watt switch setting can be used with battery chargers curling irons portable tape/CD players camcorders contact lens disinfectors electric shavers and radios and other low wattage appliances. The 1600 watt switch setting can be used with hairdryers hair roller sets beverage heaters clothes steamers hot plates incandescent lamps and non-electronic coffee makers and irons. The self-contained heat sensor will turn the converter off as necessary to prevent electric overload.

A Converter is NOT designed for continuous use so remember to remove the converter from the electrical outlet when not in use. If you need to run your appliance continuously (for more than 30 minutes at a time) you should use a transformer NOT a converter.Remember: Adapter Plugs do NOT change the voltage; they only change the configuration of the pins. You need a Converter or a Transformer to change the voltage input into your appliance.
