Yes you can safely do this. Most appliances that are marked 115 volts will operate on outlet between 110 and 120 volts safely.

Can you plug a 125v appliance into 110v car outlet?
Yes
Can you plug a 220v deep fryer into a 110v outlet?
No. Attempting to run an appliance on insufficient voltage can cause damage to the appliance and can be dangerous. Call an electrician and get him to install a 220v plug
Can you use a 115v in a 110v plug?
Yes, all wall receptacles are rated at 125 or 130 volts.
Plug a 110v hair straightener into a 220v outlet?
Do not do this.
Can you plug a 115V appliance into a 120V outlet?
For residential service 110V, 115V, 117V, 120V, and 125V are all functionally the same. Electric companies have been slowly increasing the line voltage over the last 100 years to cope with increased loads. That is where these different voltages come from. The tolerance is generally +/-10%. That's +/- 11.5 volts in this case. So, a 115VAC appliance will run between 103.5 and 126.5VAC. The short answer is yes. 110V appliances can work with up to 130V without being burnt, additionally, 220V appliances can work with up to 240V without being burnt.
Can you plug in a 110v spa into a residential outlet?
If it's rated at 110 then you can safely plug it in to a residential outlet. But, because it is generating heat, it will be drawing substantial voltage so you should ensure that the appliance is on its own circuit; otherwise when someone else turns on a light, or plugs in another appliance, the circuit will overload and shut down.
Can you plug a 115V small American appliance into 240V outlet in Australia?
Its not the appliance that needs modification but the electrical delivery. You need a converter/transformer or adapter to change the way power is fed to the appliance. See the link provided for more explanation.
Can you plug in a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet?
Probably not, but I have yet to see a 150 volt appliance as this is a non-standard voltage. If you are referring to a 115 volt appliance then the answer is yes you can as 110/115/120 volts tend to be used interchangeably in practice and are close enough together to not affect operation of the appliance.
What happens if you plug a 120V appliance into a 240V outlet?
You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
If the electrical device says 100-240 v is it safe to plug a 110 device into a 220 outlet?
Only if it is rated for 110V-220V. If it is rated for 110V only and you plug it into a 220V outlet, your device will be destroyed.
Can you plug a 115V fan into a 220V outlet?
No. the plug configuration is different, just for that reason so that the two voltages can not be crossed over.
How can you wire a 110V plug outlet from a 240V plug outlet not speaking of a converter but actually changing the plug outlet so that there are no long term effects on the 120V appliance?
Assuming the wiring to the outlet has 2 loads and one neutral, isolate one load from the outlet and use the neutral as the common. be sure to ground from the receptacle to your conduit or ground lead. You should also replace the corresponding breaker with a 120 volt single breaker.
