INSTALLATION

Continued

1.Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base, and trim accessories. Assembly instructions are included with each accessory.

2.When installing blower, install a properly grounded, 120 volt three-prong electrical outlet at fireplace location if an outlet is not there. If possible, locate outlet so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed (see Figure 9).

3.Install gas piping to fireplace location. This installation includes an approved flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) after the equipment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must be the last item installed on the gas piping. See Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location, page 11.

4.Place hearth base accessory against wall at installation loca- tion. Cut an access hole in hearth top to run gas line to fire- place (see Figure 9). Make sure to locate access hole so cabi- net mantel will cover it when installed. Note: You can secure base to floor using wood screws. Countersink screw heads and putty over.

5.Route gas line through access hole in hearth base.

6.Center cabinet mantel on hearth base (see Figure 10). Make sure mantel is flush against wall.

7.Break off nailing flanges (see Figure 11) with hammer or pliers.

8.Place cardboard or other protective material on top of hearth base. Carefully set fireplace on protective material, with back of fireplace inside mantel opening.

9.If blower is installed, route blower electrical cord through ac- cess holes in either side of fireplace. Note: Bushing may be moved if necessary. Plug electrical cord into electrical outlet.

10.Carefully insert fireplace into cabinet mantel (Figure 12). Be careful not to scratch or damage hearth base, cabinet mantel, or any laminate trim on hearth base. Remove protective mate- rial from top of hearth base and from front of fireplace (if any). Note: You can secure fireplace to hearth or floor. Open lower louver. Locate screw holes in bottom of base. Tighten wood screws through these holes and into hearth or floor.

11.Attach gas line from fireplace gas regulator to gas supply. See Connecting Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 12.

12.Check all gas connections for leaks. See Checking Gas Connec- tions, pages 12 and 13.
