Installation (for qualified installers only)

Factory-Built (Metal) Wood-Burning Fireplace Requirements

N O T E : Any parts that are removed must be removed in a way that would allow them to be re-installed if the insert is ever removed.

The damper ("A") and grate (with log set) ("B") must be removed (see the illustration below)

The smoke shelf ("C"), internal baffles ("D"), screen ("E"), masonry lining or refractory ("G" & "I"), and metal or glass doors ("F") may be removed (if applicable)

The fireplace must be permanently marked to indicate that it has been altered and is no longer suitable for burning solid fuel (wood), unless the removed parts are re-installed. Cutting of any sheet metal parts is prohibited (removal of rivets or screws F is acceptable).

The insulation ("H"), and any structured rigid frame members must not be removed or altered (side and top of door frame, side and top of the face of the fireplace, metal sides, etc.).

The metal floor ("J") may be removed to allow additional room for installation of the insert. If the floor is removed the insert must be placed directly on the metal base of the metal fireplace

The heater and face must not contact combustible surfaces. A non-combustible hearth extension is not required. However, if the heater is installed next to the floor, we recommend a hearth to protect the flooring surface from discoloration or other negative impact from the heater.

Leveling Bolts

This heater includes front and rear leveling bolts to accommodate fireplaces with a step- down firebox.

NOTE: To access the rear leveling bolts, remove the burner (see page 39).

To access the rear leveling bolts remove these access plates (replace access plate and gasket after adjustment).
