G. Removing Metal Floor of Factory-Built Firebox

The firebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen

mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory-built
firebox in order to gain minimum insert opening require-
ments.

• Any smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed

from a factory-built firebox if attached with mechanical fas-
teners.

The metal floor of the factory-built firebox may be removed

to facilitate the installation of the insert only when a 1/4
inch (6mm) airspace is provided between the insert and
the floor of outer wrap.

Figure 11.1. Measure and mark the metal
floor for cutting. With a drill, make a starter
hole in each corner.

Figure 11.2. Using a saws-all, cut out the
floor.

Figure 11.3. If the floor is made of thin metal,
we recommend using the 2 x 4 from the insert
packaging to support the insert. The 2 x 4
may need to be cut to the appropriate size.

Figure 11.4. Place the insert into the fac-
tory-built firebox. Ensure that the power
cord can not be damaged by the sharp metal
edge. You may need to cut out a notch to
accomodate the cord.

Figure 11.5. Ensure that the leveling leg is
positioned over the 2 x 4 before leveling the
insert.

The following is only one example as there are many differ-
ent models of factory-built fireplaces.
