My bet is the element will be cheaper than a transformer at least in Oz.
Dont forget if you buy transformer in US you will have to rewire with Oz
plug and US socket to match one on the oven and you have to look hard to
find US sockets in Oz.


I forgot to save the message, but think it was Ned that mentioned having
the model 1500 in 220, 4 elements at $100 each.


I see only one heating element:
http://cp-thermofisher.kb.net/utilit...spx?aid=261334
That'd be P/N EL44X1 (120 V) or EL48X2 (Please see page 27).

Your CN71X81 controller board is the same one used in 120 V and 220 V
applications.
The solid state relay is the same between the two.

'Sounds like you can replace the heating element and the power
switch (from SWX143 to SWX144) and run your new 230 V unit
without any external geegaws.

Customer Service can help with the straight info:
319-556-2241 or 800-553-0039
