The fireplace insert is certified to be installed into a masonry fireplace only

INSTALLATION OF PEDESTAL AND LEVELLING LEGS
There are two parts to the GFI55 insert pedestal and they can be found
inside the hopper. Place unit on its back. Two (2) hex head screws are used
on each side of the pedestal (refer to Figure 22). Using a 5
/16” wrench
or socket, secure the pedestal to the bottom of the unit.
OPTIONAL:
There are two (2) leveling legs and they can be found inside the manual
bag. Each leveling leg consists of a long bolt, a hex nut, a washer, and a
square bolt with clip (see Figure 23). For installation of the leveling legs the
unit should be on its back and a ½” wrench is required for adjustments.
Install the square bolts into the square holes in the back corners of the
bottom. The square bolt should be inserted from inside the unit so that
the clip will be facing up.
Thread hex nut onto the bolt till it is approximately 1” (25 mm) from the
bolt head, slide washer onto bolt. Thread the bolt into the square nut so
length of the bolt shown is the approximately height needed for leveling.
When the unit is up right and the bolts can be adjusted to the exact height
required. To lock the bolts at a height tighten the hex nut and washer
against the square bolt.

INSTALLING HOPPER COVER AND
ADJUSTING HOPPER HEIGHT
The hopper cover initially comes
upside-down on top of the hopper.
To install the hopper cover flip the cover over and fasten in place with
four T-20 screws (see Figure 24).
The back height of this unit can be set to one (1) of three (3) heights;
19½” (495mm), 21” (537mm), 22¼” (565mm). The hopper should be
set to the maximum height that can be used in the installation.
To change the height of the hopper back up or down, remove the seven
(7) T-20 screws, three (3) on each side and one (1) on the back. The
screw placement is shown Figure 25. Move the hopper assembly to the
required setting and replace the screws. When the hopper back is in
place it is recommended that silicone is used to seal the bottom lip of the
hopper back and sides.
