ATTENTION
In the USA:
The appliance may be installed at higher altitudes. Please refer to your American Gas Association
guidelines which state: the sea level rated input of Gas Designed Appliances installed at elevations above 2,000 ft. (610 m) is
to be reduced 4% for each 1,000 ft. (305 m) above sea level. Refer also to National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54,
local authorities, or codes which have jurisdiction in your area regarding the de-rate guidelines.
In Canada:
When the appliance is installed at elevations above 4,500 ft. (1,372 m), the certified high altitude rating
shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000 ft. (305 m). Refer also to CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, Local authorities, or codes which have jurisdiction in your area regarding the de-rate guidelines.
This fireplace is manufactured for use with Natural Gas. Follow the instructions included with the conversion kit if converting to
LP gas. (Sold separately)
ATTENTION
The conversion shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the provincial authorities having jurisdiction and in
accordance with the requirements of the ANSI Z223.1 installation code.
CAUTION
Installation of the gas line must only be done by a qualified person in accordance with local building codes, if any. If not, follow
ANSI 223.1.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts: Installation must be done by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
NOTE
A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved) 1/2 in. (13 mm) tee handle manual shut-off valve and flexible gas
connector are to be connected to the 1/2 in. (13 mm) control valve inlet. If substituting for these components, please consult local
codes for compliance.
This fireplace is equipped with a 3/8” (10 mm) x 18” (457 mm) long flexible gas connector and manual shut-off valve. The gas line
should be run to the point of connection where the shut-off valve and flexible gas line will connect.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas line at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
For high altitude installations, consult the local gas distributor or the authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods
.
IMPORTANT
The efficiency rating of this appliance is a product of thermal efficiency rating determined under continuous operating conditions
and was determined independently of any installed system.
