10,000 feet above sea level at the
B.T.U. rating indicated on the
model/serial plate. Burner input
adjustments are not required when
the dryer is operated up to this
elevation.
When installed above 10,000 feet, a
four percent (4%) reduction of the
burner B.T.U. rating shown on the
model/serial plate is required for
each 1,000 foot increase in elevation,
For assistance when converting to
other gas types and/or installing
above 1 O,ooO feet elevation, contact
your local service company.
