F. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox
• 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.
Figure 11.1. Measure and mark the metal
fl oor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter
hole in each corner.
Figure 11.2. Using a saws-all, cut out the
fl oor
Figure 11.3. 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.
Figure 11.4. Place the insert into the fac-
tory-built fi rebox. 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.
The following is only one example as there are many dif-
ferent models of factory-built fi replaces.
NOTE: Ensure that the leveling leg is posi-
tioned over
the 2 x 4 before leveling the
insert. See page 18, for detailed instructions
on how to adjust the leveling legs.
