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

sticker (illustrated below) must be filled out by the installer and
adhered to the appliance at the time of conversion.
