CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Conventional installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace along with the corner or cabinet mantel with hearth base accessories against a wall in your home (see Accessories, page 22 and 23). Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner.

Note: The instructions below show installa- tion using the cabinet mantel and the G3000F/G3001U/G3004W/G3006F/ G3007U series hearth base accessories. The hearth base accessory shown is optional for this installation. You can install fireplace and cabinet/corner mantel directly on the floor. The corner mantel accessory cannot be installed with the G3000F/G3001U/ G3004W/G3006F/G3007U hearth base. The corner mantel can be paired with the G3008F/ G3009U/G3010F corner hearth base. If mounting fireplace and cabinet or corner mantel to the floor, an optional G3005 Slim Base kit may be installed.

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 9).

3.Install gas piping to fireplace location. This installation includes an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) after the equipment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the last item installed on the gas piping. See Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Lo- cation, pages 10 and 11.
