Factory-Built (Metal) Wood-Burning Fireplace Requirements
The damper ("A") and grate (with log set) ("B") must be removed (see the illustration below)
The smoke shelf ("C"), internal baffles ("D"), screen ("E"), masonry lining or refractory ("G" & "I"), and
metal or glass doors ("F") may be removed (if applicable)
NOTE: If any internal baffle is cut, bent, or removed, the fireplace must be permanently marked to
indicate that it has been altered and is no longer suitable for burning solid fuel (wood).
The insulation ("H"), and any structured rigid frame members must not be removed or altered (side
and top of door frame, side and top of the face of the fireplace, metal sides, etc.).
The metal floor ("J") may be removed to allow additional room for installation of the insert. If the
floor is removed the insert must be placed directly on the metal base of the metal fireplace.

Hearth Requirements
The heater and face must not contact combustible surfaces. A non-combustible hearth extension
is not required. However, if the heater is installed next to the floor, we recommend a hearth to
protect the flooring surface from discoloration or other negative impact from the heater.
Leveling Bolts
This heater includes
front and rear leveling
bolts to accommodate
fireplaces with a step-
down firebox.
NOTE: To access the
rear leveling bolts,
remove the burner
(see page 40).
Use a 1/2” socket wrench
(with extension) to adjust
the leveling bolts.
To access the rear leveling bolts remove these
access plates (replace access plate and
gasket after adjustment).
