IN A MASONRY FIREPLACE:
Before installing your Firenzo Insert it is important to check the condition of your masonry
chimney. Ensure any cracks are sealed, loose masonry repaired and the chimney swept.
Check the dimensions of your fireplace opening. Firebricks may need to be removed and the
floor of the opening should be level using mortar if necessary.
Ensure any gaps between the chimney face and fireplace surround are sealed with heat
resistant material.
MANTEL – Masonry Fireplace
If the mantel shelf is of a combustible material there should be a minimum distance above the
top of the fascia of 600mm. This may be reduced to 290mm provided a Firenzo double
skinned heat shield is fitted under the mantel. Firenzo heat shields are available from your
Firenzo dealer.

NOT
have a combustible mantel, however if the mantel is made of a non heat sensitive
material then the minimum distance above the top of the fascia must be 500mm.
SIDE SURROUNDS – MASONRY & BUILT IN FIRE CANOPY
Clearance between the fascia and any wooden surround must be 50mm providing the timber
