Mantel

Conventional installation of fireplace involves installing fireplace along with corner, face, or cabinet mantel with hearth base accessories against a wall in your home. Follow instruc- tions below to install fireplace in this manner.

Note: The instructions below show installa- tion using the cabinet mantel and hearth base accessories (see Accessories, page 34). The hearth base accessory shown is optional for this installation. You can install fire- place 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 three-prong electrical outlet at fireplace location if an outlet is not there. If possible, lo- cate outlet so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed (see Figure 29).

3.If not already completed, install gas piping to fireplace location. This instal- lation includes an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) after the equipment shutoff valve. The flex- ible gas line must be the last item in- stalled on the gas piping. See Install- ing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location, page 14.

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 29). 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.
