into existing factory built fireplaces with replacement parts removed.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Background
A gas fired insert is approved for use in an existing masonry or a listed factory built fireplace without any
alterations. If the factory or masonry fireplace is altered its warranty is void.
Recent practice in the field is to remove parts that do not require cutting, bending or breaking from the factory
built fireplace in order to allow the insert to fit.

‘’WARNING- THIS FIRPLACE MUST ONLY BE OPERATED WITH A GAS INSERT-
REMOVAL OF THE INSERT AND THE USE OF SOLID FUEL IS PROHIBITED AND
