The appliance may be installed at higher altitudes. Please refer to your American Gas
Association guidelines which state: the sea level rated input of Gas Designed Appliances installed at
elevations above 2000 (610 m) feet is to be reduced 4% for each 1000 feet (305 m) above sea level.
Refer also to local authorities or codes which have jurisdiction in your area regarding the de-rate
guidelines.
In Canada
: When the appliance is installed at elevations above 4500 feet (1372 m), the certified high
altitude rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1000 feet (305 m).
14. MAKE SURE that the conversion label is installed on or close to the rating label to signify that the unit
has been converted to a different fuel type.
