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 in this section show instal- lation using the cabinet mantel and hearth base accessories. The hearth base accessory shown is optional for this installation. You can install fire- place and cabinet mantel directly on the floor.
1.Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base and trim accessories. Assembly instructions are included with each accessory.
2.When installing blower, install a properly 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 equip- ment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the last item installed on the gas piping. See Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location, page 13.
4.Place hearth base accessory against wall at instal- lation location. Cut an access hole in hearth top to run flexible gas line to fireplace (see Figure 9). Make sure to locate access hole so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed. Note: You can secure base to floor using 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 10). Make sure mantel is flush against wall.
7.Break off nailing flanges (see Figure 11) with hammer or pliers.

10.If blower is installed, route blower electrical cord through access holes in either side of fireplace. Note: Bushing may be moved if necessary. Plug electrical cord into electrical outlet.
11.Carefully insert fireplace into cabinet mantel. Be careful not to scratch or damage hearth base, cabinet mantel or any laminate trim on hearth base. Remove protective material from top of hearth base and from front of fireplace (if any). Note: You can secure fireplace to hearth or floor. Open lower louver. Locate screw holes in bottom of base. Tighten wood screws through these holes and into hearth or floor.
12.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections, page 16.
