INSTALLATION INTO A

SOLID FUEL BURNING

FIREPLACE OR

FACTORY BUILT

FIREPLACE

The U32E-5 Gas Inserts have been tested and

approved to be vented into any masonry ﬁ replace

or approved solid fuel burning factory built ﬁ replace

that will allow the insert to physically ﬁ t into the

ﬁ rebox. Refer to "Minimum Fireplace Dimensions"

section for minimum ﬁ replace clearances.

If the factory built ﬁ replace* height is too low for

your Insert, you may remove the smoke bafﬂ e

plate, damper, refractory (ﬁ rebricks), glass doors,

screen rails, screen mesh and log grates from the

factory built ﬁ replace as long as these items are

saved and are reinstalled in the event that the

Insert is removed.

Smoke shelves, shields and bafﬂ es may be

removed if attached by mechanical fasteners. If any

part is removed it must not weaken the structural

integrity of the factory built ﬁ replace.

NOTE: Any alterations made to the listed solid fuel

burning factory built ﬁ replace may void the listing

of the ﬁ replace.
