Z223.1 or the Canadian Installation Code CAN/CGA-149.
Only qualified licensed or trained personnel should install theappliance.
This appliance is not intended for use with a thermostat.

1.3

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONSThis appliance has been tested for installation at high altitude
to CAN/CGA 2.17-M91. This standard simulates operation up
to 4500ft.
Natural Gas appliances comply with this standard without
deration of normal rated input.
Propane appliances require a 10% deration over 2000ft.
In Canada, installations above 4500ft. will require approvalof the authority having jurisdiction.
In the USA, the National Fuel Utilization Code specifies thatappliances installed at over 2000ft. altitude shall be derated by
4% per 1000ft. altitude. However, these appliances have been
specifically field-tested for high altitude performance.
Therefore, deration of Natural Gas appliances is not necessaryor recommended for installations up to 7000ft. For Propane
appliances a total deration of 10% for all altitudes above
2000ft. and up to 7000ft. is required. Above 7000ft. derate
Natural gas appliances by 4% for each 1000ft. above 7000ft.
Derate Propane appliances by 4% for each 1000ft. above
7000ft. plus 10%.
