Step 7: Electric or Electronic?
Electric and Electronic
Is your device electric or electronic?
If it’s electric, it uses a high-power heating element or mechanical motor (think hair dryers and irons).
If it’s an electronic device, it will use electronic chips / circuits (think printers, VCRs, and computers). Not sure what your device is?
*** IMPORTANT - WHEN SELECTING A CONVERTER WE SUGGEST THAT YOU BUY ONE WITH 3 TIMES THE WATTAGE OF THE PRODUCT YOU ARE CONVERTING ***
