Plug in blower power cord.
a. If your fireplace system is installed
as a freestanding unit with an ac-
cessory mantel, determine whether
the power cord will exit the left side
or the right side of the firebox. In-
stall 1 plastic bushing provided into
the 1.5" hole in the floor support
bracket on the exit side (see Figure
19). Install the second plastic bush-
ing provided into the 1.5" hole in the
outer casing through which the
power cord will exit. Route power
cord through both plastic bushings
and plug the power cord into a prop-
erly grounded 3-prong wall recep-
tacle near the firebox.
b. If your fireplace system installation
is recessed, you must install GA3555
Outlet kit with cover in your fireplace
which will supply a convenient 3-
prong grounded electrical outlet for
your blower. Refer to the installation
manual provided with the model
GA3555 accessory for instructions on
wiring the duplex outlet.
Note:
A qualified installer must
make all electrical connections.
10. Check to make sure that the power cord
is completely clear of the blower wheel
and that there are no other foreign ob-
jects in blower wheel. Turn blower on
and check for operation. Turn blower
off by rotating knob fully counterclock-
wise before continuing.
11. Peel off the backing paper and stick the
supplied wiring diagram decal on the
firebox bottom approximately 12" in
front of blower and 3" to the right of the
blower speed control. (see Figure 20).
12. Replace log base assembly in fireplace.
Feed flexible gas supply line into fire-
place base area while replacing log base
assembly. Make sure the entire flexible
gas line is in fireplace base area.
Note:
If firebrick is installed, make sure
the back of the firebox bottom slides
under the rear panel of the firebrick. (lift
the firebrick up if necessary.)
IMPORTANT:
Do not pick up log base
assembly by burners. This could damage
burners. Only handle base by grates.
13. Reattach log base assembly to fireplace
with screws removed in step 3.
Note:
Discard the remaining hardware
items.
14. Install logs and fireplace screen per in-
structions in operating manual provided
