CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of this fireplace
involves installing fireplace along with the
corner, face, or cabinet mantel with hearth
base accessories against a wall in your home.
Follow the instructions below to install the
fireplace in this manner.
Note:
The instructions below show installa-
tion using the cabinet mantel and hearth
base accessories (see Accessories on pages
24 and 25). The hearth base accessory shown
is optional for this installation. You can
install fireplace and cabinet mantel directly
on the floor. The corner mantel accessory
cannot be installed with hearth bases. You
must install corner and face mantel directly
on the floor.
1. Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base,
and trim accessories. Assembly instruc-
tions are included with each accessory.
2. When installing blower, install a prop-
erly grounded, 120 volt three-prong
electrical outlet at fireplace location if
an outlet is not there. If possible, lo-
cate outlet so cabinet mantel will cover
it when installed (see Figure 8).
3. Install gas piping to fireplace location.
This installation includes an approved
flexible gas line (if allowed by local
codes) after the manual shutoff valve.
The flexible gas line must be the last
item installed on the gas piping. See In-
stalling Gas Piping to Fireplace Loca-
tion, page 10.
4. Place hearth base accessory against
wall at installation location. Cut an ac-
cess hole in hearth top to run flexible
gas line to fireplace (see Figure 8).
Make sure to locate access hole so cabi-
net mantel will cover it when installed.
Note:
You can secure base to floor us-
ing wood screws. Countersink screw
heads and putty over.
5. Route flexible gas line through access
hole in hearth base.
6. Center cabinet mantel on hearth base
(see Figure 9). Make sure mantel is
