David S Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Some time ago I was told that although the current is very similar in France & the UK you couldn't use a microwave oven designed for UK use in France. Does anyone know whether this is true or not and if it is true, what the reason is? Thanks. [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 They work just fine. One thing I've heard is that you need to extend the cooking times slightly to account for the less than 10% voltage difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
