T500 2000 W or 1500 W

[daspooper]

Hello,

I recently purchased a T500 Boiler to use as a wort boiler and still. I plan to use a fractional distillation column which will be connected to the stainless steel lid via a cork stopper; I'll control the temperature at the top of the column with a 20 A variac. While looking over the device after cleaning, I noticed that there was a sticker on it claiming that it is certified at 1500 watts (see attached photo.) On the box and on the retailer website the device is listed as 2000 W. Does this mean that the still was mispackaged by the manufacturer? I don't want to run a device which is rated at 1500 watts but runs at 2000 watts (hence why I posted this in the safety forum.) Has anyone with a T500 had this problem?

Thanks
