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

power cord will exit. Locate the 1.5" diameter
hole near the center of floor support 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 cordʼs 3-prong plug
through the 1.5" diameter hole in appropriate
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 support bracket by snapping
into place.
6. Route the 3-prong plug through the 1.5" hole
in fireplace outer casing.

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
ASSEMBLY
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 supplied with your fireplace is
pre-mounted at the factory in the lower cavity of
the fireplace. You may relocate this wall switch
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 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 as-
sembly, 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 assembly.
CAUTION: The wall switch
assembly must never be mount-
ed directly above the fireplace
where heat may damage it. If you
relocate wall switch assembly
from lower fireplace cavity, it
must be mounted either on side
wall of mantel or on wall to side
of fireplace.
For Recessed Installation
If fireplace is to be recessed into a wall (see
Built-In Fireplace Installation
, page 17), we
recommend mounting wall switch assembly to
left side of fireplace. The wall switch assembly
should be mounted approximately 12" from left
edge of fireplace, and less than 60" from the floor.
IMPORTANT:
Do not locate wall switch assembly
directly in front of wall stud - there must be room
behind wall board for wires from switch. If you
choose to locate wall switch assembly 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.
