I. 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 inch
(25mm) airspace is provided between the insert and the
floor of outer wrap.
• If the floor is made of thin metal, we recommend using a
Quarda-Fire floor protector, Part 811-0730, which is avail-
able through your dealer.
