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 ("

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

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 39).

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).
