I.Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox

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

•Any smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed from a factory-built firebox if attached with mechanical fas- teners.

•The metal floor of the factory-built firebox may be removed to facilitate the installation of the insert only when a 1 inch (25mm) airspace is provided between the insert and the floor of outer wrap.

•If the floor is made of thin metal, we recommend using a Quarda-Fire floor protector, Part 811-0730, which is avail- able through your dealer.
