HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
In Canada, this unit is approved from 0 to 4500 feet above sea level. Installation of this
stove at altitudes above 4500 feet is subject to field test of the individual installation and approval
by the local authority having jurisdiction.
In the United States, input ratings of this unit are based on sea level operation, and shall
not be changed for operation at elevations up to 2000 feet. For operation at elevations above
2000 feet, this stove shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level.
Exception: As permitted by the authority having jurisdiction.
To adjust stove for operation above 2000 feet the burner orifices may need to be changed.
The orifices are located beneath the log set so it is necessary to first remove the logs. To do so
please refer to the following detailed instructions to achieve optimum performance of your stove.
WARNING ! The following procedure should only be undertaken by a qualified and certified gas
appliance installer.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT ANY ELECTRICAL CORDS AND TURN OFF GAS SUPPLY TO
UNIT BEFORE PROCEEDING.
1. If logset is installed, remove logs and embers at this time.
2. With a Phillips screwdriver, remove pilot lighting channel and front log rack.
3. Remove the two Phillips head screws that secure the front and rear burner pan in place.
4. Remove the burner pans by sliding to the right and lifting out. (Shutters may need to be
adjusted ‘closed’ to make this easier).
5. Slide shutters out of the way. Using a 3/8" wrench or socket, remove the orifice inserts and
replace with proper orifices for the specified gas. See below.
6. Reinstall burner pans and adjust shutters to ‘open’ position.
