The burner orifices provided in this kit are only for
use at elevations of 0 to 2,000 feet (610 M) in the
uSa and 0 to 4,500 feet (0-1372 M) in Canada. at
higher elevations the BTu input must be de-rated
by 4% for every 1,000 feet (305 M) to maintain
the proper ratio of gas to air. If the installer must
convert the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, a
derationinformationstickermustbefilledoutbythe
installer and adhered to the appliance at the time
of the conversion. Contact your local gas supplier
for deration requirements for your area.
