Four leveling bolts are included in the manual package. The leveling bolts allow for a ¼" minimum to 2" maximum leveling 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.
