WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate clearance around air openings and for service access.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be locat-

ed out of trafc and away from furniture and draperies.

• The rebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen

mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory

built rebox in order to gain minimum gas insert opening requirements.

• Any smoke shelves, shields and bafes may be removed

from the factory built rebox if attached with mechanical fasteners.

• The appliance may not be placed directly on the base

of the outer wrap, a 1/4 in. airspace MUST be provided between the insert and the oor of the outer wrap. Use the levelling legs to raise the insert a minimum of 1/4 in.. The original replace may never be returned to solid fuel in this condition. The sidewalls and top structure of the rebox may not be altered with the exception of removable bafes and dampers.

• The metal oor of the factory-built replace may be removed to facilitate the installation of the insert.

• Cutting of any sheet metal parts of the replace in which the gas replace insert is to be installed is prohibited, except the oor as tested for and as noted above and in Figure 4.1-B.

• A minimum 1/2 in. gap from the bottom of the appliance to the metal oor of the factory-built rebox is RECOMMENDED for optimal fan performance. See side view in Figure 4.1-A.

• If the recommended 1/2 in. leveling leg height can not be achieved, a section of the factory-built metal oor may be removed. See Figure 4.1-B and see Section 10.A for clearance under appliance.

Note: The metal warning plate, noting that the factory-built

replace has been converted for use with a gas replace insert, must be afxed to the appliance. It is included in the manual bag assembly.
