2. If installing GA3450TA blower accessory, do
so at this time. Follow instructions included
with blower accessory.
Note: If not installing blower accessory, you
may wish to run electrical wiring to your
fireplace for future blower installation (see
Accessories, page 40). Use only approved
three-wire electrical wiring.
WARNING: If pre-wiring, do
not connect wiring to any electri-
cal source at this time.
Install fireplace electrical outlet
and connect wiring to outlet
before connecting to electrical
source. The fireplace electri-
cal outlet is included with the
GA3450TA blower accessory.
Only use the fireplace electri-
cal outlet supplied with the
GA3450TA blower accessory.
Note: A qualified installer should make all electri-
cal connections.
BUILT-IN FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves install-
ing fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This makes
the front of fireplace flush with wall. An optional
trim kit accessory is available (see Accessories,
page 40). Trim will extend past sides of fireplace
approximately 1/2". This will cover the rough edges
of the wall opening. If installing a built-in mantel
above the fireplace, you must follow the clearances
shown in Figure 10, page 13. Follow the instruc-
tions below to install the fireplace in this manner.
