Maybe someone else could jump in ?

I know a little bit about the electrical specs but that's about the limit of my knowledge.

It is Chinese made but that doesn't necessarily make it bad. You could try calling tech support if they've got a number listed in the owner's manual.



==========================

Just a question about torching a sealed unit. You would probably drill a hole in the bottom and drain the oil first.

I would think that there's some oil residue inside. Would the oil residue vaporize & ignite when you torched it ? Maybe go off like a cannon ?
