F. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox

•The fi rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built fi rebox in order to gain minimum insert opening require- ments.

•Any smoke shelves, shields and baffl es may be removed from a factory-built fi rebox if attached with mechanical fas- teners.

•The metal fl oor of the factory-built fi rebox may be removed to facilitate the installation of the insert only when a 1/4 (6mm) inch airspace is provided between the insert and the fl oor of outer wrap.

The following is only one example as there are many dif- ferent models of factory-built fi replaces.

Starter hole

Mark area of floor to cut

Figure 11.1. Measure and mark the metal

floor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter hole in each corner.

Figure 11.2. Using a saws-all, cut out the fl oor

Use 2 x 4 from insert packaging to support insert

Figure 11.3. If the fl oor is made of thin metal, we recommend using the 2 x 4 from the insert packaging to support the insert. The 2 x 4 may need to be cut to the appropriate size.

Keep sharp edge of metal floor away from power cord

Figure 11.4. Place the insert into the fac- tory-built fi rebox. Ensure that the power cord can not be damaged by the sharp metal edge. You may need to cut out a notch to accommodate the cord.

NOTE: Ensure that the leveling leg is posi- tioned over the 2 x 4 before leveling the insert. See page 18, for detailed instructions on how to adjust the leveling legs.
