HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION

Your DESA direct-vent fireplace 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 fireplace 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 orifice 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 orifice size identification.

When installing this fireplace 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 orifice for your location.

For assistance with any high altitude installation contact DESA’s Customer Service Department at 1-866-672-6040.
