Universal voltage appliances are Japanese -- one side of the island is
110V 60Hz US standard, the other (West) side is German -- 220V 50Hz.
This is why having those exploded nuclear power stations off line was
such a problem -- it requires an inverter plant to transfer power from
the west side to the east!
As a result all Japanese appliances are dual voltage/ frequency.
This is NOT true of European appliances. Have an electrician check it
out, you may smoke the the motor using 110.
