CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of this fireplace
involves installing fireplace along with the
corner or cabinet mantel with hearth base
accessories against a wall in your home (see
Accessories, page 22 and 23). Follow the
instructions below to install the fireplace in
this manner.
Note: The instructions below show installa-
tion using the cabinet mantel and the
G3000F/G3001U/G3004W/G3006F/
G3007U series hearth base accessories. The
hearth base accessory shown is optional for
this installation. You can install fireplace
and cabinet/corner mantel directly on the
floor. The corner mantel accessory cannot
be installed with the G3000F/G3001U/
G3004W/G3006F/G3007U hearth base. The
corner mantel can be paired with the G3008F/
G3009U/G3010F corner hearth base. If
mounting fireplace and cabinet or corner
mantel to the floor, an optional G3005 Slim
Base kit may be installed.
1. Assemble cabinet mantel, hearth base,
and trim accessories. Assembly instruc-
tions are included 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

cation, pages 10 and 11.
