CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of this fireplace
involves installing fireplace along with the
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 GM101U cabinet mantel and
the G3001U series hearth base accessory.
The hearth base accessory shown is optional
for this installation. You can install fire-
place and cabinet mantel directly on the
floor.
1.
Assemble cabinet mantel and hearth
base. Assembly instructions are in-
cluded 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 Lo-
cation, page 10.
4.
Place hearth base accessory against
wall at installation location. Cut an ac-
cess hole in hearth top to run flexible
gas line to fireplace (see Figure 9).
Make sure to locate access hole so cabi-
net mantel will cover it when installed.
Note:
You can secure base to floor us-
ing wood screws. Countersink screw
heads and putty over.
5.
Route flexible gas line through access
hole in hearth base.
