This is reminder to everyone that the AUP applies to every post on this site:
You're expected to post in clear English for the benefit of all
members we have internationally who've also made the effort to learn and post in clear English.
Each sentence should start with a capital letter, names such as "England" and "America" always have a capital letter and "I" when used to refer to yourself is always capitalised. Words like "I'm", "I've", "I'll" & "I'd" have capital "I" and an apostrophe.
Contractions such as "plz" & "thnx" are not acceptable here.
Please take heed of this in your future attempts here.
**********************************************************
You'll need a stepdown transformer as well as a US plug adaptor if the plug-in transformer for the DFGT is anything like the DFP.
I've just checked my US DFP adaptor and it's 110-120V input only, not a self switching 110 - 240V like many modern electrical appliances.
In order to run off 240V mains electricity in the UK you'll need the stepdown transformer to drop the voltage down to 115V or so.
Check the label on the transformer when you receive it, if it says 110 - 240V input is acceptable you should be OK.
If it says 110 - 120V input, do not plug it in without an additional stepdown transformer as you'll probably fry the DFGT power supply and possibly blow fuses or breakers in your home.
