CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace along with the cabinet mantel and hearth base accessory against a wall in your home. Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner.
WARNING: For conventional installation, it is recommended you use the cabinet mantel or hearth bases specified in this manual. Surface clearances may not be sufficient with other cabi- net mantels and hearth bases. This may create a fire hazard. See Accessories, page 25, for correct mantels and hearth bases.
Note: The instructions below show installa- tion using the GMC11F/GMC12U/ GCM13F series cabinet mantel and the GC3333F/GC3334U/GC3335F series hearth base accessories (see Accessories, page 25). A brass trim kit is included with each mantel accessory. The hearth base ac- cessory shown is optional for this installa- tion. You can install fireplace and cabinet mantel directly on the floor.
1.Assemble cabinet mantel, brass trim kit, and hearth base. Assembly instruc- tions are included with each accessory.
2.If installing an optional blower acces- sory (see Accessories, page 25). Install a properly grounded 120 volt, three prong electrical outlet at fireplace lo- cation if outlet is not there. If possible, locate outlet so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed (see Figure 23).
3.Break off nailing flanges (see Figure 22) with hammer or pliers.

4.Place mantel and base in desired loca- tion. Place heater in front opening of mantel. Make sure all pieces fit prop- erly. Remove mantel.
5.Mark floor and base or wall for gas line entrance. Make sure there is enough clearance between heater and mantel for gas line. IMPORTANT: Make sure there are no electrical lines where gas piping will go through floor or wall.
6.Cut an access hole in hearth base top to run flexible gas line to fireplace (see Figure 23). Make sure to locate access hole so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed. Note: You can secure base to floor using wood screws. Coun- tersink screw heads and putty over.
7.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 14.
8.Carefully place fireplace on top of hearth base (Figure 24, page 13). Be careful not to scratch or damage hearth base. Note: You can secure fireplace to hearth or floor. Open louver door. Lo- cate screw holes in bottom of base. Secure with wood screws through these holes and into hearth or floor.
9.If using an optional blower, install it now. Follow instructions provided with the blower.
10.Connect fireplace to gas supply (see Connecting Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 15).
11.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections, page 15.
