    Fuse value should be noted on the case. Generally speaking- double the voltage - halve the current. ie: if it had a 10A in there for 110V it should be 5A for 230V

    The pull plate is interesting. Looks like it should be pushed into a slot as per the 230V arrow.

    Its always a bit scary eh?
    The first time I did a voltage conversion I turned it on with a broomstick!

    ...no no I think it's just clever component useing by Aguilar, it's just four positions switch...if you can change (or not) voltage is up to transformer inside...it has to be transformer supporting (made for) 100-120-230-240V...this plate is just changer
