Parts for the DVC20IN, DVC26IN and DVC28IN families have separate model-specific part numbers and are not interchangeable merely because the styling matches. Follow the component instructions and the appliance installation manual; keep the insert ventilation openings clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer permits only its approved surrounds, shrouds and decorative fronts to cover integral grilles of the original solid-fuel fireplace. Do not seal those openings with improvised sheet-metal panels.
