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.

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 outlet at fireplace location if an outlet is not there. If possible, locate outlet so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed (see Figure 9, page 11).

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 Installing 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, page 11). 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.
