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 below to install the fireplace in this manner.
Note: The instructions below show installa- tion using the cabinet mantel and the G3000F/G3001U/G3004W/G3006F/ G3007U series hearth base accessories. The hearth base accessory shown is optional for this installation. You can install fireplace and cabinet mantel directly on the floor. The corner mantel accessory cannot be installed with the G3000F/G3001U/G3004W/ G3006F/G3007U hearth bases. You must install corner mantel directly on the floor. If mounting fireplace and cabinet mantel to the floor or using corner mantel, an optional G3005 Slim Base kit may be installed.
1.Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base, and trim accessories. Assembly instruc- tions are included with each accessory.
