D. High Altitude Installations
Omni-Test Laboratories, Inc. listed gas appliances are 
tested and approved without requiring changes for 
elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the U.S.A. and 0 to 4500 
feet in Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating 
by changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. 
Input rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet 
above a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A.  If the heating 
value of the gas has been reduced, these rules do not 
apply. To identify the proper orifi ce size, check with the 
local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet 
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
