Altitude Considerations
•This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 6,000 feet. In this testing we have found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
•Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard. Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.
