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 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 bases. The conrner 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 Location, page 10.

4.Place hearth base accessory against wall at installation location. Cut an ac- cess hole in hearth top to run 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 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, page 9) with hammer or pliers.

8.Place cardboard or other protective ma- terial on top of hearth base. Carefully set fireplace on protective material, with back of fireplace inside mantel opening.

9.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.
