ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR POWER
CORD
This fireplace operates on 120 VAC, 60 Hz power. An electrical
power cord is supplied with this unit.
For Mantel Installation
1.
Determine from which side of the fireplace the power cord will
exit. Locate the 1.5" diameter hole near the center of floor sup-
port bracket on appropriate side of lower cavity (see Figure 7).
2.
Locate power cord. Remove wire tie or tape holding plug end
of power cord.
3.
Power cord has 2 plastic hole bushings threaded onto it. Route
cord's 3-prong plug through the 1.5" diameter hole in appro-
priate floor support bracket.
4.
Push first plastic bushing completely through hole. Squeeze
bushing as needed to do this.
5.
Install the second plastic bushing into the hole in the floor sup-
port bracket by snapping into place.
6.
Route the 3-prong plug through the 1.5" hole in fireplace
outer casing.
7.
Install the first plastic bushing into this hole by snapping into place.
8.
After you have connected to gas supply and checked your gas
connections (see pages 15 through 18), plug power cord into
any convenient 3-prong grounded wall receptacle near fireplace.
For Recessed Installation
If an outlet is not installed in fireplace, install model GA3555 -
Outlet Kit with Cover. This kit will supply a convenient 3-prong
grounded electrical outlet for power. Refer to installation manual
provided with this optional accessory for instructions on wiring.
Note:
A qualified installer must make all electrical connections.

RELOCATING WALL SWITCH
Note:
The decorative wall switch plate supplied is white. The wall
switch plate may be painted to match your decor.
The push-button switch and decorative wall plate assembly sup-
plied with your fireplace is pre-mounted at the factory in the lower
cavity of the fireplace. You may relocate this switch/plate assembly
to a more convenient location such as the side of your mantel or
directly onto the wall near the fireplace. To mount the wall switch/
plate assembly, you must first cut openings in the mantel or wall
where the switch will be located.
Note:
If you choose to relocate the wall switch, do so before final
installation into a mantel or recessing into a wall. If you are
installing an optional blower accessory, install it at the same time
you relocate the wall switch.
For Recessed Installation
If fireplace is to be recessed into a wall (see Built-In Fireplace
Installation, pages 19 and 20), we recommend mounting wall
switch to left side of fireplace. The wall switch should be mounted
approximately 12" from left edge of fireplace, and less than 60"
from the floor.
IMPORTANT:
Do not locate wall switch directly in
front of wall stud - there must be room behind wall board for wires
from switch. If you choose to locate wall switch to right side of
fireplace, the length of the cord restricts you to less than 6" from
right edge of fireplace and less than 48" from floor.
CAUTION: The wall switch must never be mounted
directly above the fireplace where heat may damage
it. If you relocate wall switch from lower fireplace
cavity, it must be mounted either on side wall of
mantel or on wall to side of fireplace.
