H. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Fire-
box
• 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 different
models of factory-built fi replaces.
Figure 10.1. Measure and mark the metal fl oor for cutting. With
a drill, make a starter hole in each corner.
Figure 10.2. Using a saws-all, cut out the fl oor.
Figure 10.3. 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: 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. Ensure that
the leveling leg is positioned over the 2 x 4 before leveling the
insert.
I. Altering the Factory-Built Fireplace
• The fi replace must not be altered, except for the exceptions
listed below. Do not removal the bricks and mortar from
the existing fi replace.
The following modifi cations are permissible:
• Removal of damper or locked in open position
• Removal of smoke shelf or baffl e
• Removal of ember catches
• Removal of fi re grate
• Removal of view screen/curtain
• Removal of doors
• External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of
the fi replace may be removed providing they can be stored
on or within the fi replace for reassembly if the insert is
removed.
• The permanent metal warning label provided must be
attached to the back of the fi replace, with screws or
nails, stating that the fi replace may have been altered to
accommodate the insert, and must be returned to original
condition for use as a conventional fi replace. Figure 10.4.
• If the hearth extension is lower than the fi replace 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.
NOTE: Refer to chimney liner manufacturer for recom-
mendations on supporting the liner. Installation into
fi replaces without a permit will void the listing
