Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/LP) for your unit. If your gas supply is not correct, do not install fireplace. Call dealer where you bought fireplace for proper type fireplace.

ELECTRICAL HOOKUP

This fireplace normally operates under 120 VAC/60 Hz line volt- age. The electrical cord supplied with your fireplace is five feet in length. You must locate fireplace within reach of a 120 volt grounded electrical outlet. If not, you must install an electrical outlet within reach of the fireplace power cord. The GA3555 outlet accessory may be used for built-in applications.
