Note:
The instructions below show installation using the cabinet mantel and the
G3000F/G3001U series hearth base accessories. The hearth base accessory shown is optional
for this installation. You can install fireplace and cabinet mantel directly on the floor. The corner
mantel and face mantel accessories cannot be installed with the G3000F/G3001U hearth base.
You must install corner and face mantel directly on the floor. If mounting fireplace and cabinet
mantel to the floor or using face mantel or corner mantel, an optional G3005 Slim Base kit may
be installed.
1. Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base, and trim accessories. Assembly instructions are
included with each accessory.
2. When installing blower, install a properly grounded, 120 volt three-prong electrical outlet at
fireplace location if an outlet is not there. If possible, locate outlet so cabinet mantel will
cover it when installed (see Figure 9, page 12).
