When installing the insert into a masonry fireplace DO NOT remove any bricks or masonry, with the following exception; Masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame if necessary to accommodate a chimney liner. Provided that their removal will not weaken the structure of the fireplace and chimney, and will not reduce protection for combustible materials to less than that required by the national building code.
When installing the fireplace insert into a zero clearance fireplace, DO NOT cut or modify any factory firebox parts. If the fireplace insert does not fit into a zero clearance fireplace we recommend you use an ENVIROFIRE model FS and
install as a hearth mounted unit. Install a 3” (76 mm) flex pipe from the stove to the top of the chimney.
