2. The settings for the two oven voltage switches on the ASE 100 rear

panel (see Figure B-2) must match the voltage from the power source
at the installation site.

Check that both switches are set to either 110 (for voltages between
100 and 120 Vac) or 220 (for voltages between 220 and 240 Vac). To
change the switch settings, insert a small screwdriver into the slot in
each switch and turn it to either 110 or 220.

NOTE The oven voltage switch settings have no effect

on system components other than the oven. The
ASE 100 main power supply adjusts
automatically to the power source at the
installation site.
