CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of fireplace involves
installing fireplace along with corner, face, or
cabinet mantel with hearth base accessories
against a wall in your home. Follow instruc-
tions below to install fireplace in this manner.
Note: The instructions below show installa-
tion using the cabinet mantel and hearth
base accessories (see Accessories, page 34).
The hearth base accessory shown is optional
for this installation. You can install fire-
place and cabinet mantel directly on the
floor. The corner mantel accessory cannot
be installed with the hearth bases. You must
install corner 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 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 29).

stalled on the gas piping. See Install-
ing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location,

net mantel will cover it when installed.

ing wood screws. Countersink screw
