High Altitude Adjustment

When installing the GF 600 DV Firelight gas stove in high altitude situations (above 2500') it becomes necessary to compensate for the thinner air (less volume of oxygen per cubic foot). High altitudes affect the atmospheric pressure and heat value of gaseous fuels. Lower oxygen content in the air and lower gas viscosity require the use of a different orifice to achieve efficient, clean combustion at the burner tube.

In the U.S.,

THE DERATING KIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCOR- DANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUC- TIONS AND ALL CODES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. THE INFORMATION STICKER MUST BE FILLED OUT BY THE INSTALLER AND ADHERED TO THE APPLIANCE AT THE TIME OF THE CONVERSION. THE QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENCY PERFORMING THIS WORK AS- SUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DERATING.

In Canada,

This unit has been tested for installation at high altitudes in accordance with Canadian test stan- dard CAN/CGA-2.17.

THE DERATING SHALL BE CARRIED OUT IN ACCOR- DANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVIN- CIAL AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CAN1-B-149.1 AND .2 INSTALLATION CODE.

For installations from 610 - 1370 meters (2,000- 4,500 ft.) the orifice size is 3.3 mm for natural gas and #48 mm for propane.

SEE THE HIGH ALTITUDE ORIFICE CHART on the page 19. For high altitude installations, consult your local gas distributor or the authority having juris- diction for proper rating methods. If the installer must convert the unit to adjust for varying alti- tudes, the information sticker must be filled out by the installer and applied to the appliance at the time of the conversion.
