High Altitude Adjustment; Mobile Home Installation - Jøtul GF 400 BV Sebago Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

High Altitude Adjustment
Installations burning natural gas and located at altitudes
from 2000 - 4500 ft. (610 M - 1370 M), require compensa-
tion for the thinner air (less volume of air per cubic foot).
Higher altitudes affect the atmospheric pressure and heat
value of gaseous fuels. The lower oxygen content in the
air and the lower gas viscosity require the use of a differ-
ent orifice to achieve efficient, clean combustion at the
burner tube. For high altitude installations, consult the
local gas distributor or the authority having jurisdiction
for proper rating methods. If the installer must convert
the unit to adjust for varying altitudes, use Jøtul High
Altitude Kit, #155885-LP or # 155895 NG.
DO NOT DERATE THE BURNER FOR PROPANE.
In the U.S: THE DERATING KIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY
AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL
CODES AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORITY HAV-
ING JURISDICTION. THE INFORMATION STICKER MUST
BE COMPLETED BY THE INSTALLER AND APPLIED TO THE
APPLIANCE AT THE TIME OF THE CONVERSION. THE QUALI-
FIED SERVICE AGENCY PERFORMING THIS WORK ASSUMES
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DERATING.
