TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 45,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
40,000BTU/hr for propane. When the fireplace is installed
at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific
recommendations from the local authority having jurisdic-
tion, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced
at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft. Maximum out-
put for natural gas is 36,900 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 82%
with the fan on, 78.4% with the fan off; and 33,200 BTU/hr
for propane at an efficiency of 83% with the fan on, 80%
with the fan off. Minimum A.F.U.E. (Annual Fuel Utilization
Efficiency) rating is 64%.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water
column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for
propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water
column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for
propane. Manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5
inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water
column for propane.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-
sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is required
for the gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool-
ing down cycles are normal and are to be expected. Change
in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more evident in

psig (3.5 kPa). The fireplace must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extend-
