That shouldn't be a problem for you. If it doesn't work there won't be enough voltage running to the appliance. If you were trying to adapt an american appliance in most of the rest of the world you would be sending twice the rated voltage to the appliance.

I found this out with a fun little explosion that knocked my power out a couple of years ago.

I traveled to Ireland once. I made sure to check my devices (chargers) and confirmed they were all auto switching/ranging. I brought a plug adapter, and a power strip so I could plug more than one thing in.

Did not think to check the power strip.
