Hey all, sorry for the noob question, but I was given a gift certificate with [amazon.com](http://amazon.com), but I am located in europe and I am unable to transfer that credit to the [amazon.de](http://amazon.de) shop.

So, I have to buy the anova from [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) and it will ship to me, no problem. My question is though, can I safely plug the anova into a US to EU power adapter without frying out the Anova due to different voltage?

Thanks in advance

Cheers,  
Dave

And followup question, if I buy the Anova from [amazon.com](http://amazon.com), is it possible for me to change the plug to 220v native? i.e. an accessory?

It’ll bust the unit - the 110v US units are meant to only be used with 110v input. You can use a transformer to bring it to the correct voltage (220v) but it does void the warranty and any potential damage caused isn’t something we can fix.

Hope that helps!
