2.3 GENERAL 

INFORMATION

* When the appliance is installed at elevations above 2,000ft, and in the absence of specifi c recommendations 
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certifi ed high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 
4% for each additional 1,000ft. 

This appliance is suitable for mobile home installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in a mobile 
home that is permanently positioned on its site and fueled with natural gas. This appliance may be installed in 
an aftermarket permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by local codes.

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not 
convertible for use with other gases.

The appliance is equipped with two catalytic tiles which are designed to fi lter out harmful gases and limit 
carbon monoxide output. It is likely that with the appliance in operation, the catalytic tiles will actually scrub 
the carbone monoxide normally found in the room and reduce it to a lower level. The tiles must not be altered 
or removed. Do not operate the appliances when using products such as paint, paint thinner, adhesives, etc. 
These products will permanently affect the catalytic tiles’ ability to scrub the air.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be expected.
