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.
