WARNING: This appliance,
when installed must be electri-

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION
Your DESA direct-vent replace has been tested
and approved in the USA for elevations from
0-2,000 feet (610 m) and in Canada at elevations
from 0-4,500 feet (1,372 m).
When installing a non-high altitude replace at an
elevation above 2,000 feet (610 m) (in the USA),
you may need to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orice to a smaller
size. Reduce input 4% for each 1,000 feet (305 m)
above sea level. Check with your local gas com-
pany for proper orice size identication.
When installing this replace in Canada at an
elevation above 4,500 feet (1,372 m), Check with
local or provincial code authorities.
Consult your local gas company to help determine
the proper orice for your location.
For assistance with any high altitude installation
contact DESA’s Customer Service Department at
