Hi all. I pray i picked the correct place for this post. I have a Kerr 110 volt oven and wonder if it can be changed to 220 volt to get faster heat up time ?

Yes, conditions apply. As the power would quadruple, the heating elements should be changed. When changing, power is a choice.

Joe's answer may be a bit confusing.

As a simple answer, the answer is NO.
As a technical answer, yes, you could re-build the oven to 220VAC by changing the coils and some wiring in the controller. It would not be practical for most people. It isn't as simple as changing the plug.

It isn't as simple as changing the plug.

Unless it's designed to... But them it would have come with an extra plug and directions on how to change the settings etc.
