INSTALLATION
CONTINUED
This firebox may be installed using the cabinet mantel with hearth base accessory against a
wall in your home. You must use one of the Satin Black or Polished Brass Trim Kits available
when installing your firebox with the optional mantel kit. (See Accessories on page 17 & 18).
NOTE: The Trim Kits provide a finished appearance covering rough and/or unfinished mantel
edges.
NOTE: The instructions below show installation using the VFZC series cabinet mantels and
hearth base accessories. The hearth base accessory shown is optional for this installation.
You can install the firebox and mantel directly on the floor. The VFZC series face mantel
accessories cannot be installed with the hearth base accessory. You must install the face
mantels directly on the floor. (See Optional Accessories, page 17)
NOTE: If installing directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material, other than
wood flooring, the firebox must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full
width and depth of the enclosure.
NOTE: If using the VFZC series face mantel accessory, a wall recess opening will be needed.
See installation instructions for VFUN36FM/VFUN42FM Face Mantel accessory.
1.
Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base (optional), and trim accessories.
Assembly instructions are included with each accessory.
2.
If using an optional VFZCB blower, install a properly grounded, 120 volt three-prong
electrical outlet at firebox location if an outlet is not there. If possible, locate outlet so
cabinet mantel will cover it when installed (see Figure 6, below).
3.
Install gas piping to firebox location. For this installation you will need an approved
flexible gas line (if allowed by local codes) and a manual shutoff valve. The flexible gas
line must be the last item installed on the gas piping. See Connecting to Gas Supply
in your log set owner's manual.
4.
Place (optional) hearth base accessory against wall at installation location. Cut an
access hole in hearth top to run flexible gas line to firebox (see Figure 6). Make sure to
locate access hole so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed. NOTE: you can secure
base to floor using wood screws. Countersink screw heads and putty over.
