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, pages 24
and 25). The hearth base accessory shown is
optional for this installation. You can install

floor. The corner mantel accessory cannot
be installed with the hearth bases. You must
install corner mantel directly on the floor.

tions are included with each accessory.
2.
When installing blower, install a prop-
erly grounded, 120 volt three-prong

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.

cess hole in hearth top to run flexible

net mantel will cover it when installed.

ing wood screws. Countersink screw
heads and putty over.
