the fi replace may be removed providing they can be stored
on or within the fi replace for reassembly if the insert is
removed.
• The permanent metal warning label provided in the
component pack must be attached to the back of the
fi replace, with screws or nails, stating that the fi replace may
have been altered to accommodate the insert, and must
be returned to original condition for use as a conventional
fi replace.

the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be
supported.
• Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit can be
ordered from your dealer.
