figure 9: Masonry fireplace installation.

When installing the insert into a masonry fireplace, DO NOT remove any bricks or masonry, with the

following exception: masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may be removed from the smoke

shelf and adjacent damper frame, if necessary, to accommodate a chimney liner. Do this only if their

removal will not weaken the structure of the fireplace and chimney, and will not reduce protection for

combustible materials to less than that required by the national building code. When installing the

fireplace insert into a zero clearance fireplace, DO NOT cut or modify any factory firebox parts.
