ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR POWER CORD

This fireplace operates on 120 VAC, 60 Hz power. An electrical power cord is supplied with this unit.

For Mantel Installation

1.Determine from which side of the fireplace the power cord will exit. Locate the 1.5" diameter hole near the center of floor support bracket on appropriate side of lower cavity (see Figure 7).

2.Locate power cord. Remove wire tie or tape holding plug end of power cord.

3.Power cord has 2 plastic hole bushings threaded onto it. Route cordʼs 3-prong plug through the 1.5" diameter hole in appropriate floor support bracket.

4.Push first plastic bushing completely through hole. Squeeze bushing as needed to do this.

5.Install the second plastic bushing into the hole in the floor support bracket by snapping into place.

6.Route the 3-prong plug through the 1.5" hole in fireplace outer casing.

7.Install the first plastic bushing into this hole by snapping into place.

8.After you have connected to gas supply and checked your gas connections (see pages 14 and 15), plug power cord into any convenient 3- prong grounded wall receptacle near fireplace.

For Recessed Installation

If an outlet is not installed in fireplace, install

model GA3555 - Outlet Kit with Cover. This

kit will supply a convenient 3-prong grounded

electrical outlet for power. Refer to installation

manual provided with this optional accessory for

instructions on wiring. Note: A qualified installer

must make all electrical connections.

RELOCATING WALL SWITCH ASSEMBLY

Note: The decorative wall switch plate supplied is white. The wall switch plate may be painted to match your decor.

The push-button switch and decorative wall plate assembly supplied with your fireplace is pre-mounted at the factory in the lower cavity of the fireplace. You may relocate this wall switch assembly to a more convenient location such as the side of your mantel or directly onto the wall near the fireplace. To mount the wall switch assembly, you must first cut openings in the mantel or wall where the switch will be located.

Note: If you choose to relocate the wall switch as- sembly, do so before final installation into a mantel or recessing into a wall. If you are installing an optional blower accessory, install it at the same time you relocate the wall switch assembly.

CAUTION: The wall switch assembly must never be mount- ed directly above the fireplace where heat may damage it. If you relocate wall switch assembly from lower fireplace cavity, it must be mounted either on side wall of mantel or on wall to side of fireplace.

For Recessed Installation If fireplace is to be recessed into a wall (see Built-In Fireplace Installation, page 17), we recommend mounting wall switch assembly to left side of fireplace. The wall switch assembly should be mounted approximately 12" from left edge of fireplace, and less than 60" from the floor. IMPORTANT: Do not locate wall switch assembly directly in front of wall stud - there must be room behind wall board for wires from switch. If you choose to locate wall switch assembly to right side of fireplace, the length of the cord restricts you to less than 6" from right edge of fireplace and less than 48" from floor.
