ability. Leveling bolts are designed to adjust for uneven fireplace insert floors and yield plumb Insert Body. Use the leveling
bolts only if the fireplace insert floor is more than ¼" out of level from one side to another or from front to back. If the fireplace
insert floor is less than ¼" out of level, use metal sheet shims in various thickness and build up to needed leveling thicknesses at
various points around the appliance.
