2.3 High Altitude
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 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 1,000 feet above sea level. However, if the heating value of the gas
has been reduced, this general rule may not apply. Check with SBI for proper orifice size identification.
Canadian High Altitude
This fireplace can be installed at elevations up to 4,500 feet without changing the BTU. When installing
this fireplace at an elevation above 4 500 feet (1,370 m), check with local gaz utility for assistance in
determining the proper orifice for location.
2.4 While unpacking
Before starting to unpack, place the fireplace near its final location. Undo the uprights from the packaging,
be careful not to damage the appliance. Unscrew the anchors holding the fireplace to the pallet. Lift the
hearth out the pallet. While unpacking, verify that the fireplace and components have not been damaged
during shipping and there is no components missing.
