Install the second plastic bush- ing provided into the 1.5" hole in the outer casing through which the power cord will exit. Route power cord through both plastic bushings and plug the power cord into a prop- erly grounded 3-prong wall recep- tacle near the firebox.

Refer to the installation manual provided with the model GA3555 accessory for instructions on wiring the duplex outlet.

Note: A qualified installer must make all electrical connections.
