FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
The L540E / HZI540E Gas Inserts have been
tested and approved to be vented into any
masonry fireplace or approved solid fuel burning
factory built fireplace that will allow the insert to
physically fit into the firebox. Refer to "Minimum
Fireplace Dimensions" section for minimum
fireplace clearances.
If the factory built fireplace* height is too low for
your Insert, you may remove the smoke baffle
plate, damper, refractory (firebricks), glass
doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates
from the factory built fireplace as long as these
items are saved and are reinstalled in the event
that the Insert is removed.
Smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be
removed if attached by mechanical fasteners.
If any part is removed it must not weaken the
structural integrity of the factory built fireplace.
NOTE: Any alterations made to the listed solid
fuel burning factory built fireplace may void the
listing of the fireplace.
*Check with your local inspector before
commencing with this installation.
