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 in this section to install the fireplace in this manner.

Note: The instructions in this section show instal- lation using the cabinet mantel and the GC3333F/ GC3334U/G3004W/GC3335F/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 GC3333F/GC3334U/G3004W/ GC3335F/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 G3005J/ 3005S/3005B Slim Base kit may be installed.

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 three-prong electrical out- let at fireplace location if an outlet is not there. If possible, locate outlet so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed (see Figure 9).

3.Install gas piping to fireplace location. This in- stallation 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 Install- ing 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.
