3. Place mantel and base in desired location. Place heater in front opening of
mantel. Make sure all pieces fit properly. Remove mantel.
4. Mark floor and base or wall for gas line entrance. Make sure there is enough
clearance between heater and mantel for gas line. IMPORTANT: Make sure
there are no electrical lines where gas piping will go through floor or wall.
5. Cut an access hole in hearth base top to run flexible gas line to fireplace (see
Figure 9). Make sure to locate access hole so cabinet mantel will cover it when
installed.
Note:
You can secure base to floor using wood screws. Countersink
screw heads and putty over.
