Hi, hoping someone can help...Please and thanks in advance!
I'm returning home (Canada) after a long stay in Japan and want to take a Japanese appliance with me: a takoyaki maker (takoyaki is a kind of fried food made with octopus or other fillings). But on the box it says "For use in Japan only."
Japan has passed electrical safety laws regarding the import/export of their products, so this is probably why it says "For use in Japan only." But can anyone see why this appliance would not work in Canada? (according to http://kropla.com/electric2.htm Canada's voltage is 120V and the frequency is 60Hz).
The appliance has a regular 2-prong, flat blade attachment plug (same as is used in Canada). On the bottom of the appliance it says: AC100V, 50-60Hz, 650W.
Please help!
