2. An optional blower accessory is avail-
able (see Accessories, page 28). There
are two options for connecting blower
to electrical source.
Option one: Have a licensed electri-
cian install a properly grounded, three-
prong 120-volt electrical outlet at fire-
place location. Locate outlet inside the
framed enclosure. Blower power cord
will plug into this outlet.
Option two: Have a licensed electri-
cian connect blower to electrical source
at junction box inside fireplace.
If using option one, have electrical out-
let installed at this time. If using option
two, do not connect blower to electrical
source at junction box until step 6.

valve. The flexible gas line must be the
last item installed on the gas piping.

cord through side or rear access door
of fireplace. Plug electrical cord into
electrical outlet.
Option two: Have a licensed electri-
cian connect blower to electrical source
at junction box inside fireplace.
7. Bend four nailing flanges on outer cas-
ing with pliers (see Figure 7).

of the firebox. Combustible materials should
never overlap the firebox front facing. Fire-
box should not be placed on top of carpet or
other kinds of fibrous material.

install the fireplace in this manner. If install-
ing a built-in mantel above the fireplace,
you must follow the clearances shown in
Figure 8, page 9. If using for built-in instal-
lation off of the floor, follow clearances
shown in Figure 3, page 7.
