CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace along with the corner, face, or cabinet mantel with hearth base accessories against a wall in your home. Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner.
Note: The instructions below show installa- tion using the cabinet mantel and hearth base accessories (see Accessories, pages 24 and 25). The hearth base accessory shown is optional for this installation. You can install fireplace and cabinet mantel directly on the floor. The corner mantel accessory cannot be installed with the hearth bases. You must install corner mantel directly on the floor.
1.Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base, and trim accessories. Assembly instruc- tions are included with each accessory.
2.When installing blower, install a prop- erly grounded, 120 volt
3.Install gas piping to fireplace location. This installation includes an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) after the manual shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the last item installed on the gas piping. See In- stalling Gas Piping to Fireplace Loca- tion, page 10.
4.Place hearth base accessory against wall at installation location. Cut an ac- cess hole in hearth top to run flexible gas line to fireplace (see Figure 8). Make sure to locate access hole so cabi- net mantel will cover it when installed. Note: You can secure base to floor us- ing wood screws. Countersink screw heads and putty over.
5.Route flexible gas line through access hole in hearth base.
6.Center cabinet mantel on hearth base (see Figure 9). Make sure mantel is flush against wall.
7.Break off nailing flanges (see Figure 10, page 9) with hammer or pliers.
8.Place cardboard or other protective material on top of hearth base. Care- fully set fireplace on protective mate- rial, with back of fireplace inside man- tel opening.
9.Attach flexible gas line to fireplace gas regulator. See Connecting Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 11.
10.If blower is installed, route blower elec- trical cord through access holes in ei- ther side of fireplace. Note: Bushing may be moved if necessary. Plug elec- trical cord into electrical outlet.
