5)If your existing fi replace damper control will become inaccessible once you have installed your Regency Insert, you should either remove or secure it in the open posi- tion.
6)Inspect your fi replace and chimney prior to installing your insert to determine that it is free from cracks, loose mortar or other signs of damage. If repairs are required, they should be completed before installing your insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar from your masonry fi replace.
