High Altitude Installation
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. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for each 1,000
feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has
been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply.
To identify the proper orifice size, check with local gas utility.
