provide greater clearances from
floor, ceiling and adjoining wall.
Carefully follow the instructions below. This
will ensure safe installation.
Minimum Clearances For Side Combustible
Material, Side Wall and Ceiling
A. Clearances from the side of the fireplace
cabinet to any combustible material and
wall should follow diagram in Figure 8.
Example: The face of a mantel, bookshelf,
etc. is made of combustible material and
protrudes 3
1 / " from the wall. This com-
bustible material must be 4" from the side
of the fireplace opening (see Figure 8).
B. Clearances from the top of the fireplace
opening to the ceiling should not be less
than 4".
Minimum Clearance to
Combustible Materials
Top: 42", Left and Right Sides: 16"

Note: The instructions in this section show in-
stallation using the cabinet mantel and hearth
base accessories. The hearth base accessory
shown is optional for this installation. You can
install fireplace and cabinet mantel directly
on the floor. The corner mantel accessory
(VYGF models only) can only be paired with
the corner hearth base. If mounting fireplace
and cabinet or corner mantel to the floor, an
optional G3005 Series 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 properly
grounded, 120 volt three-prong electrical
outlet 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
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 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
Figure 10, page 11). Make sure mantel is
flush against wall.
7. Break off nailing flanges (see Figure 11,
page 11) with hammer or pliers.
