Natural gas in high altitude might contain less heating value than typical 1100 BTU/ cuft and therefore can cause
improper air / gas mix leading to improper combustion. For natural gas installations in altitudes above 3,000 feet,
be sure to apply the intake orifice (P/N 152140230) provided by manufacturer in the accessory box.
