tions such as bathtub enclosures as defi ned by the Con-
sumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The tempered
glass has been tested and certifi ed to the requirements
of ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202 (Safety Glazing
Certifi cation Council SGCC# 1595 and 1597. Architectur-
al Testing, Inc. Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01).
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Sec-

D. High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved with-
out requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in
the U.S.A. and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000
feet, it may be necessary to decrease the input rating
by changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size.
Input rate should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet
above a 2000 foot elevation in the U.S.A., or 10% for el-
evations between 2000 and 4500 feet in Canada. If the
heating value of the gas has been reduced, these rules
do not apply. To identify the proper orifi ce size, check with
the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 feet
(in Canada), check with local authorities.
