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 fire- place 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 cord's 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.

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

Note: The decorative wall switch plate sup- plied 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 switch/plate 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/plate 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, do so before final installation into a mantel or recessing into a wall. If you are installing an optional blower accessory, in- stall it at the same time you relocate the wall switch.
