Hi, do you need to? As well as the wrong plug, the voltage is lower in Tenerife 220 instead of 240, although this does not matter for occasional use, it will shorten the life of a TV or computer if used over a long time. Perhaps better to avoid the cost, and buy new.

Being a sparky the difference ain't much,most electrical goods today have switching mode supplies,its items like cookers, washing machines, tumble driers, immersion heaters that use more energy to reach temperature....
