OPTIONAL MANTeL INSTALLATION
Refer to instructions provided with the mantel
for assembly instructions. Refer to the follow-
ing instructions for system installation. Refer to
instructions on page 6 for hood assembly. Blower
accessory should be installed prior to mantel if
it is being used (see Installing Optional Blower
Accessory GA3450TA, page 13).
1. Assemble cabinet mantel as shown in acces-
sory instruction sheet.
2. If blower is installed, 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 11).
3. Place hearth base against wall at installation
location. Cut an access hole in hearth base to
run gas line to fireplace (see Figure 11). 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.

tor. See Connecting to Gas Supply, page 16.

mantel.
11. Place metal trim on shoulder screws located
on the side and to of the fireplace (see Assem-
bling Perimeter Trim on page 13). Firmly snap
trim over shoulder screws. Align fireplace in
mantel assembly so the trim overlaps mantel
