Your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC direct-vent
fireplace has been tested and approved for
elevations from 0-2000 feet.
Fireplaces for High Altitude (models ending

only. These fireplaces are equipped with parts
specific for higher altitudes.
IMPORTANT
:
These fireplaces can NOT be converted to
Propane/LP gas.
When installing a non-high altitude fireplace at
an elevation above 2000 feet, you may need
to decrease the input rating by changing the
existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Re
-
duce input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea
level. Check with your local gas company for
proper orifice size identification.
