(4.) Burner flame should be clear blue, almost transpar-
ent. (See Fig. 18.)
c. Verify natural gas input rate by clocking gas meter.
NOTE:
High -Altitude Adjustment
UNITED STATES
At installation altitudes above 2000 ft, this furnace has been
approved for a 4 percent derate for each 1000 ft above sea level.
See Table 8 for derate multiplier factor.
CANADA
At installation altitudes from 2000 to 4500 ft, this furnace must be
derated 10 percent by an authorized Gas Conversion Station. To
determine correct input rate for altitude, see example above and
use 0.90 as derate multiplier factor.
a. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots.
b. Start furnace and let operate for 3 minutes.
c. Measure time (in sec) for gas meter test dial to complete
1 revolution.
d. Refer to Table 9 for cu ft of gas per hr.
e. Multiply gas rate (cu ft/hr) X heating value (Btu/cu ft)
using natural gas heating value from local gas
utility/supplier.

* For size 060135 only, input is 22,500 Btuh per burner. Deduct 0.1-in. wc from manifold pressure shown in table. Change orifice size if manifold pressure falls below 3.2-in.
wc on altitudes up to 2000 ft, otherwise change orifice size if manifold pressure falls below 2.0-in. wc.
†Orifice sizes shown in SHADING are factory installed.
