Plugging US Prusa into stepdown transformer in UK

I have a US power supply Prusa Mk3.  I'm moving to the UK.  Can I plug this safely into a stepdown transformer, or should I replace the power supply with a 220v version?

I have a US power supply Prusa Mk3.  I'm moving to the UK.  Can I plug this safely into a stepdown transformer, or should I replace the power supply with a 220v version?

According to Step 18 in the assembly guide:

The PSU switches between 110 V and 220 V automatically

I'd double-check with Prusa support out an abundance of caution.

You'll need an appropriate cord for the UK.

Thanks!  I totally missed that note.. Cords I got, and I'll verify, but that makes things so much easier.
