Minimum Fireplace
Requirements
This fireplace insert has been specifically designed
to be installed into a solid fuel burning factory built
fireplace or a code approved solid fuel burning ma-
sonry fireplace with a tile flue liner. An acceptable
fireplace cavity must have the minimum dimensions
specified in fig. 3.
Do not modify or alter the construction of the
gas insert or any of its components to enable it to fit
into a fireplace. Any modification of the insert will
void the warranty, certifications and approvals of the
unit and could be dangerous.
Install Leg Leveling Brackets
1. Oriented as you face the insert, install the right
and left mounting brackets to the sides of the
insert using the #10 x /2” screws provided at the
height appropriate to your installation require-
ments.

Leg Leveler Bracket Note:
Two right and left brackets with mounting
hardware are included in the Miscellaneous Kit.
Installation of the brackets allows the insert to
be raised up to 2 1/2” off of the hearth.
Note that use of the brackets will require a
larger minim um fireplace width at both the
front and rear as shown below. Also note that
use of the levelling brackets will affect required
minimum clearance to combustible top trim
and mantle construction. See the figures and
tables on pages 8 and 9.
