NOTE: Natural gas data is based on 0.60 specific gravity. For fuels with different specific gravity consult the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1-2006/NFPA 54-2006 or National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas And Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1-05.
*
In the USA, derating of these furnaces at 2% (Natural Gas) and 4% (Propane Gas) has been tested and design-certified
by CSA.
In Canada, the input rating must be derated 5% (Natural Gas) and 10% (Propane Gas) for altitudes of 2,000 to 4,500 (609.6 to
1371.6m) above sea level. Use the 2001 to 3000 (609.9 to 914.4m) column in Table 4 and Table 5.

POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in per-
sonal injury, death and/or property damage.
This high-altitude
gas-conversion
shall be done
by a qualified service agency in accordance with
the Manufacturer's
instructions and all applicable
codes and requirements, or in the absence of local
codes, the applicable national codes.
Changing Orifices
1,
2,
After disconnecting
power and gas supply to the furnace,
remove the burner compartment door, exposing the burner
compartment.
Disconnect gas line from gas valve so manifold can be re-
moved.
3,
4,
Disconnect wiring at gas valve. Be sure to note the proper
location of all electrical wiring before being disconnected.
Remove the four (4) screws holding the manifold and gas
valve to the manifold supports. Do not discard any screws.
See Figure 17.
