High Altitude Installation
When installing this unit at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the United
States) it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing
the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Generally, input should be
reduced 4 percent for each 1000 feet above sea level. However, if the
heating value of the gas has been reduced, this general rule may not
apply. Check with local gas utility for proper orifice size identification.
APPLIES TO CANADIAN MODELS ONLY
Altitude: 0-4,500 feet (0-1370 m) without orifice change.
For high altitude installations consult the local gas distributor or the authority
having jurisdiction for proper rating methods. If the installer must convert
the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, the information sticker (illustrated
