PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

installation.
This insert is approved for installation into an existing masonry or zero clearance (metal) fireplace.
Depending upon your installation concerns, several options are yours to provide the most desirable
installation. The sections that follow detail the requirements that must be met for a safe installation. To
further help installation, the most common types of installations are explained in the section "Insert
Installation Considerations". Prior to installing your insert make a detailed plan with dimensions to
double-check them against all of the requirements listed.

by applying touch up paint).
