FIREPLACE
The E33S Gas Insert have been tested and
approved to be vented into any masonry
fireplace or approved solid fuel burning
factory built fi replace that will allow the insert
to physically fi t into the fi rebox. Refer to the
"Minimum Fireplace Dimensions" section.
If the factory built fi replace* height is too low
for your Insert, you may remove the smoke
baffl e plate and damper from the factory
built fi replace as long as these items are
saved and are reinstalled in the event that
the Insert is removed. NOTE: Any alterations
made to the listed solid fuel burning factory
built fi replace may void the listing of the
fi replace. Cutting any sheet-metal parts of
the fi replace, in which the gas fi replace insert
is to be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fi replace has no gas
access hole(s) provided, an access hole of
1.5" (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through
the lower sides or bottom of the fi rebox in
a proper workmanship like manner. This
access hole must be plugged with non-
combustible insulation after the gas supply
line has been installed.
The fi replace and fi replace chimney must
be clean and in good working order and
constructed of non-combustible materials
and chimney cleanouts must fi t properly.
Refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh, and log grates can be removed
from the fi replace before installing the gas
fi replace insert. Smoke shelves, shields
and baffl es may be removed if attached by
