*Please* check with the manufacturer of your microwave before using it
in a country with a different line frequency!  The microwave we bought
while living in S.H.A.P.E., Belgium, had to be modified to work there
and then modified to work here when we returned stateside.  Microwave
ovens, it seems, are slightly more sensitive to the line frequency.
Either that or the manufacturers are making lots of money off of
military personnel! :-)
