Tom Matthews Hey dude, unit draws 7-10 amps to heat the element at the beginning and end of cycle, drops to 1-3 amps during heating. Use a computer like power supply or a very good battery. It is important to use the high current at the end of cycle to keep the unit ready to restart.

Tom Matthews E.U. Voltage is generally 220v, we have that in US and Canada but our frequency is 60hz. With E.U. using 50hz any control circuitry would likely fail.

Tom Matthews Mine didn’t work either, still debating ordering another to replace it and the first one that found a tree. I suspect the control board has failed. Would be nice if we could get control boards
