Fireplace Installation
1.Fireplace should be fully assembled. See Assembling Fireplace in fireplace owner’s manual.
2.Place mantel base close to installation location. See fire- place owner’s manual for installation clearances. Leave enough room to get behind mantel once fireplace and mantel assembly have been attached to base if installing a fireplace with flange.
3.If installing gas fireplace, install gas line. See Connecting to Gas Supply in fireplace owner’s manual. Remember to leave access to the gas shutoff valve somewhere on the base or where it is accessible to the user. Check for leaks. See Checking Gas Connections in fireplace owner’s manual.
IMPORTANT: If your fireplace has a nailing flange see Installing Fireplace with Flange. If your fireplace does not have a nailing flange see Installing Fireplace without Flange, page 4.
