Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe?

I bought an Accuphase E-212 from audiogon recently.
On the back of the unit it clearly shows 100v which is Japaness voltage. I spoke with the seller about this issue and he told me that Accuphase are made universal, which means that you can run 100V amp made for Japaness in US as well. I don't agree with him. According to Accuphase catelog, the US amps has 120V printed on the back of E-212.
The link is www.accuphase.com/pdf/e-212_e.pdf
Can I run 100V amp in US 120v? Anybody has ideas? Thanks.

Hi Arni.
The seller did not disclose about it at all. When I got the unit after paying the full bid amount I noticed 100V on the back of the unit. He has other Accuphase item for sale on Audiogon but I am in the process of negociation with the seller so I am not going to blow his ID yet. But we don't need this kind of seller in our Audiogon community. Thanks for your help on this issue. Thanks.
