H. Altering the Fireplace

The following modifications of factory-built fireplaces are permissible:

The following parts may be removed:

Damper	Smoke Shelf or Baffle
Ember Catches	Fire Grate
Viewing Screen/Curtain	Doors

•The fireplace must not be altered, except that the damper may be removed to accommodate a direct-connect starter pipe or chimney liner,

•External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the fireplace may be removed providing they can be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly if the insert is removed.

To maintain the functionality of the fireplace’s chimney system you may use a Simpson Dura-Vent DuraLiner Slip Hanger, Part # 4671, and attach to the bottom of the fireplace chimney cap to support the liner. You have two options to completing the installation.

Option one - Not required to use liner cap: Re-attach the existing top of the chimney cap.

Option two - Using liner cap:

Re-attach the existing top of the chimney cap and install a new storm collar and a new liner cap.

•The permanent metal warning label provided in the component pack must be attached to the back of the fireplace, with screws or nails, stating that the fireplace may have been altered to accommodate the insert, and must be returned to original condition for use as a conventional fireplace. Figure 37.2.

•If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace opening, the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be supported.

•Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit can be ordered from your dealer.

•Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon the authority having jurisdiction.

WARNING! Risk of Fire!

Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances and instructions when installing venting system.
