ORIFICE SIZE/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

THE VINTAGE™ STOVE

For altitudes above 2,000 feet (In Canada 4,500 FT/1370 M),the orifice should be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000 feet to maintain the proper ratio of gas to air. Improper orifice sizing may result in damage and unsafe conditions. Changing the orifice should only be done by a quali- fied service technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for proper orifice sizes.

SMOKE DETECTORS

Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.
