16.Position wall switch assembly vertically over wall openings with decal lettering upright (see Figure 13).

17.Insert mounting screws, removed in step 2 of Relocating Wall Switch Assembly on pages 9 and 10, through holes in wall plate and into wall anchors.

18.Tighten screws until wall plate is firmly attached to wall. Do not overtighten.

Mounting Wall Switch Assembly to Side of Mantel

7.Create three openings in the mantel wall according to Tem- plate 2, page 33. This is best done by making a pattern to work with on the mantel. Carefully cut page 33/34 from manual and tape paper template vertically onto mantel wall at preferred location. Pierce the paper at the centers of the 2 holes with a nail or sharp pencil, leaving a mark on the wall. Do the same at centers of the four circles near the corners of the rectangle.

8.Remove paper template from mantel wall.

9.Drill 1/8" pilot holes at each mark for top and bottom screw holes. Drill 3/8" holes at each mark for centers of four circles near corners of rectangle.

10.Using a straight edge and pencil, connect the outer edges of the 4 holes for the rectangle (see Figure 10, page 10). This will give you cutting lines for the rectangle you will cut in the mantel wall.

11.Using a keyhole saw, hack saw blade, drill, file, or other suit- able tool, carefully cut out the rectangular opening. Note: The corners of the rectangle may be round. IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the size of the rectangle on template.

12.Carefully pass wall switch assembly through rectangular open- ing from inside mantel (see Figure 13).

13.Position wall switch assembly vertically over opening with decal lettering upright. Make sure wires freely pass through wall without binding. Align holes in wall plate with 1/8" pilot holes in mantel wall.

14.Drive mounting screws, removed in step 2 of Relocating Wall Switch Assembly on pages 9 and 10, through wall plate holes and into pilot holes in mantel wall.

15.Tighten screws until wall switch assembly is firmly attached to mantel. Do not overtighten.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

WARNING: A qualified service person must con- nect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: For propane/LP units, never connect fireplace directly to propane/LP supply. This fire- place requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the heater and propane/LP supply.

WARNING: For natural gas units, never connect fireplace to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead gas.

Installation Items Needed

Before installing fireplace, make sure you have the items listed below.

•external regulator (supplied by installer, for propane/LP units only)

•piping (check local codes)

•sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

•equipment shutoff valve *

•test gauge connection *

•sediment trap

•tee joint

•pipe wrench

•approved flexible gas line with gas connector (if allowed by lo- cal codes) (not provided)

*A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve from your dealer. See Accessories, pages 30 and 31.

For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regula- tor. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent point- ing down as shown in Figure 14, page 12. Pointing the vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
