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 be-
low 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 instructions are in-
cluded with each accessory.
2. When installing blower, install a properly
grounded, 120 volt three-prong electrical out-
let 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 equip-
ment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must
be the last item installed on the gas piping.
See Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Loca-
tion, pages 13 and 14.
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 Fig-
ure 10). Make sure mantel is flush against wall.
7. Break off nailing flanges (see Figure 11) with
hammer or pliers.

8. Place cardboard or other protective material
on top of hearth base. Carefully set fireplace
on protective material, with back of fireplace
inside mantel opening.
9. Attach flexible gas line from fireplace gas
regulator to gas supply. See Connecting Fire-
place to Gas Supply, page 13.
10. If blower is installed, route blower electrical
cord through access holes in either side of fire-
place.
Note:
Bushing may be moved if neces-
sary. Plug electrical cord into electrical outlet.
11. Carefully insert fireplace into cabinet mantel.
Be careful not to scratch or damage hearth base,
cabinet mantel, or any laminate trim on hearth
base. 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.
12. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, pages 16 and 17.
