Important
: All correspondence should refer

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.
