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 the
G3000F/G3001U/G3004W/G3006F/
G3007U series hearth base accessories. The
hearth base accessory shown is optional for
this installation. You can install fireplace
and cabinet/corner mantel directly on the
floor. The corner mantel accessory cannot
be installed with the G3000F/G3001U/
G3004W/G3006F/G3007U hearth bases.
The conrner mantel can be paired with the
G3008F/G3009U/G3010F corner hearth
base. If mounting fireplace and cabinet or
corner mantel to the floor, an optional G3005
Slim Base kit may be installed.
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 9).
3.
Install gas piping to fireplace location. This
installation includes an approved flexible
gas line (if allowed by local codes) after
the equipment shutoff valve. The flexible
gas line must be the last item installed on
the gas piping. See Installing Gas Piping
to Fireplace Location, page 10.
