I bought an appliance in the US and the voltage is 120 and I have bought a converter but one of the instructions is DO NOT use a converter with this appliance. How do I use it in a 220v outlet then?

Basically - you're stumped !... If there are explicit instructions with the appliance that you do not use a converter - there is a legitimate reason for NOT doing so ! Your only option is to purchase an equivalent appliance in the country you're going to !
One of the reasons they are telling you you are not to use a converter - is that most US converters are only 2-pin. The appliance you have may need an earth connection to maintain safety.

You bought some electronics in China which requires 220v In that case can you use these devices in Canada which uses 110v without getting a voltage converter to convert from 220v to 110v.?
No.. you can't... You will actually be damaging your instrument.. It is highly recommended that you use voltage converter... I think it is not too costly

How To Use A Voltage Converter For Your Imported Electronics?
A lot of people have lost their precious electronics because they did not suspect that they needed to use a voltage converter transformer or they simply did not know how to use one. If you bought your electronics in Europe or Asia and then brought them home to the USA then chances are the specifications will require that you use a voltage converter with them. Otherwise you will blow up your electronic product or it will simply not come on at all. There is no reason to be intimidated when it comes to using a voltage converter transformer, it is actually easier than it looks or sounds. The following steps below will show you how to easily use a voltage converter on electronics operating on 220v. 1. Your first step should be to take a look behind the voltage converter transformer. Here you are supposed to find the input voltage selection panel. It is usually red in color on most models of voltage converters. The input setting will depend on your current location. If you are in the USA you will have to set the input voltage to 110v. If you are in Europe however it will have to be set to an input of 220v. 2. Turn the converter around and take a look at the front. At the front of the input converter you will find a universal socket. It is called a universal socket because it means that it can be used for both plugs that need to be grounded and those that do not. You will not be required to get another adapter to fit in your electronics’ adapter. This universal socket is output source. This is where you will have to plug in your 220v electronic product. 3. After you have plugged in the 220v product, you then need to switch on the voltage converter transformer and then your product. You should never switch on the electronic product and then the voltage converter. There may be a bit of current still left in the converter which compounded with the new settings you just chose could permanently damage your product.

Who To Fix Your Appliance?
Appliances in the home get broken and then you need to have them fixed or replaced. Before you replace every appliance that quits working, call an appliance service to come to the home to see if it can be fixed. Find a reputable appliance service that works on the specific appliance that is broken. The store that you bought the appliance at should have a list of repair technicians you can call, and they may even have someone who works in the store that can come to your home.
