Looking over the owner's manual did it mention outside operating temperatures?

We have used this generator in below freezing temperatures and it worked fine. I never saw anything in the manual however.

Looked at the paperwork that came with the unit, but it didn't say anything about operating temperature. The extinguisher is very high quality but I can't help with an answer to your question. I'm very happy with mine.

the only thing in the operation manual about heat...is unit will not work when temp is above 77

This difficult to answer without knowing the outside temperature...That said, mine does a good job in my motor home with temps into the mid 20*F.

I don't know the answer to that. I do know, however, that here in sw texas where it gets very hot, the unit does a poor job of cooling when the outside temp rises much above 95 degrees.

Mine's been running at -8 degrees for a couple of months now. It seems to be quite accurate.

I have not, but I haven't had it out of a temperature controlled environment.

I apologize for taking so long, I just found the information. The operating temperature for this unit is -10 degrees C - +50 degrees C, or 14 F - 122 F.

Just got to use it properly for the first time yesterday. As been kept in a garage before use. It was left outside yesterday for about 1/2 hr at 20F and started up again with no problems.

That is a question the manufacturer would have to answer. We have owned ours for 3 years and remain very satisfied. It is outside, but under cover, so I am unable to comment about how it weathers.

According to the User's Manual for the 5100, the operating environment is a temperature range of 0 - 40 °C (+32-104 °F) and less than 85% humidity (no condensation).

I have not used it in that low of a temperature, but so far the unit has been working just fine.

Well, I can;t say that I've noticed any heat generated by it whatsoever. If I had to guess, I'd say it pretty much remains at ambient temperature. If you mean what temperatures can it operate in, I have mine installed on the exterior of my house in Reno, NV. Temperatures range from -20F to 110F. I'd say it will operate in most conditions. The important thing is to install it where it is protected from direct rain and sun (under an eave). Even so, and especially if it does get direct rain, make sure and use clear water soluble exterior caulking around the screws that fasten the top of the unit. Just swab the caulking around each screw prior to threading it into the hole. This should make sure any water or humidity stays outside of the unit.

I haven't noticed if the unit shuts down because the unit is outside. I do know that I can take a bath and adjust the temperature to hotter or colder and haven't had any issues.

To be honest, I have never been aware of the outside temperature. If yours is cool and it seems to be fucntioning properly, I would not be concerned. Perhaps it's well enough insulated that you don't feel the heat on the outside. However, if you don't feel it is cooking in the time suggested, you might consider returning it. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

I don't recall if the temps were on it. It was very difficult to read. I ditched the unit shortly after purchasing. As I recall, I had to make a mark so I knew where "off" was. It's one of those you-get-what-you-pay-for items. I'd spend a bit more and get something a little nicer. Sorry I couldn't be more positive about it :( ~~Susan~~

Mine operates with an external thermostat and has for two years. I simply leave the built-in 'stat at maximum. Works fine.
