CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Conventional installation of this fireplace involves installing fireplace along with the corner or cabi- net mantel with hearth base accessories against a wall in your home (see Accessories, pages 30 and 31). Follow the instructions below to install the fireplace in this manner.

Note: The instructions below show installation using the cabinet mantel and the G3000F/G3001U/ G3004W/G3006F/G3007U series hearth base ac- cessories. The hearth base accessory shown is optional for this installation. You can install fire- place and cabinet/corner mantel directly on the

floor. The corner mantel accessory cannot be in- stalled 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 cabi- net 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 instructions are in- cluded 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 installation includes an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) after the equip- ment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the last item installed on the gas piping. See Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Loca- tion, page 12.

4.Place hearth base accessory against wall at in- stallation location. Cut an access 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 Fig- ure 10, page 11). Make sure mantel is flush against wall.

7.Break off nailing flanges (see Figure 11, page 11) with hammer or pliers.

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