CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of fireplace involves in-
stalling fireplace along with corner, face or cabinet
mantel with hearth base accessories against a wall
in your home. Follow instructions below to install
fireplace in this manner.
Note:
The instructions below show installation us-
ing the cabinet mantel and hearth base accessories
(see Accessories, page 36). The hearth base acces-
sory shown is optional for this installation. You
can install fireplace 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 instructions are
included 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 20).
3. If not already completed, 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.
