U.S. Appliances Taken Outside of the U.S.

If an appliance made for use in the U.S. is taken to another country, it can void the warranty. One exception is when an appliance is taken overseas by U.S. military personnel to APO, FPO addresses.

 

We also caution against taking an appliance outside of the U.S. for the following reasons:

 

• Many other countries use 50 hertz. We do not test or rate these appliances at 50 hertz. If the appliance is used on 50 hertz, we cannot determine whether it will work as intended.
• Most other countries are on 220 volts, rather than 120 volts. We do not test our appliances with voltage adapters (which also do not adjust hertz), so we cannot guarantee the appliance will work as intended.  
• Parts and service may not be available for models taken outside of the U.S.
• Product literature, such as Installation Instructions and Owner's Manuals may only be available in English (and possibly Spanish or French).
