If it doesn't say 110V, it's unlikely to work. However, it's also
unlikely to explode... plugging a 110V-only device into a 240V socket,
on the other hand, could be exciting.

If you're going to be living there, you can buy voltage converters for
low-power applications; they'll up the 110V to 240V, but some devices
don't like them and you don't really want to try running anything off
them that needs a lot of power. But in the long term you'll be better
off getting new gear that's 110V capable.
