Goodman GMEC96 Gas Furnace

Hello,
I will perhaps ask something unusual... I have a gas furnace Goodman GMEC96 purchased in Canada but it is installed in Europe. It works well when the European electricity 230VAC/50Hz is transformed to 12V and from 12V to an inverter that outputs 110VAC/60Hz.
If I apply 120V/50HZ via a regular transformer 230/110VAC I would get the error" "INTERNAL GV ERROR, MICRO AND FREQUENCY CHECK"
Since the inverter breaks sometimes, how I could bypass the frequency check and make it work at 50Hz?
I know that I would have a lower speed on the fan/output but it would not bother.
Any suggestions?

    You’re asking field technicians how to change the electronics in a circuit board so that it will do something that the manufacturer didn’t intend?

    Not only that, but I interpret that error as meaning the equipment literally cannot work at 50Hz, not that it's simply failed a test.

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.
