above 2000 feet.
• In CANADA: Input ratings are certied without a
reduction of input rate for elevations up to 4500 feet
(1370 m)above sea level. Please consult provincial and/
or local authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4500 feet (1370 m).
Check with your local gas utility to determine proper
orice size.
Air shutter settings should be adjusted by a qualied service technician at the time of installation. The air shutter is
set at the factory for minimum vertical vent run. Adjust air
shutter for longer vertical runs. See Figure 9.1.
NOTICE: If sooting occurs, provide more air by opening
the air shutter.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specied. Framing or nishing
material closer than the minimums listed must be constructed entirely of noncombustible materials (i.e., steel studs,
concrete board, etc).
Clearance to combustible material under the insert is 3/4 in.
(19 mm). Clearance from bottom of surround air outlet slot
for combustibles extending 12 Inches max. is 12 Inches.
