I would think the "rating" would be for maximum heat.
The PS does take much more power to start but only for a short time. You don't light them. They heat the fuel to combustion electrically like the "burner" on your electric stove.

The rating on the cover page was the lowest output so that you could determine if your room was too small for the PS. When you click on the model the next page gives all the specs, hopper capacity, weight, max output.
P (power in watts)= I (current in amps) X E (electromotive force in volts)
P/E=I
So for this PS 27 watts/120 volts = .225 amps
27 watts/12 volts = 2.25 amps
