CONvENTIONAL FIREpLACE
INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of this fireplace
involves installing fireplace along with the
corner, face or 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 in this section show instal-
lation using the cabinet mantel and hearth base
accessories. 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, hearth base
and trim accessories. Assembly instruc-
tions 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).
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 Location, page 13.
4. Place hearth base accessory against wall at
installation location. Cut an access hole in
hearth top to run flexible gas line to fireplace
(see Figure 9). 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.
5. Route flexible gas line through access
hole in hearth base.
6. Center cabinet mantel on hearth base
(see Figure 10). Make sure mantel is flush
against wall.

9. Attach flexible gas line from fireplace gas
regulator to gas supply. See Connecting

cord through access holes in either side of
fireplace. Note: Bushing may be moved if
necessary. Plug electrical cord into electrical
outlet.
11. Carefully insert fireplace into cabinet man-
tel. Be careful not to scratch or damage
hearth base or cabinet mantel. Remove
protective material from top of hearth base
and from front of fireplace (if any).
Note: You can secure fireplace to hearth
or floor. Open lower louver. Locate screw
holes in bottom of base. Tighten wood
screws through these holes and into hearth
or floor.
