OPTIONAL ACCESSORY MANTELS
WARNING: A qualified service

low all local codes.
This firebox may be installed using the corner
or cabinet mantel with hearth base acces-
sories against a wall in your home. A trim
kit is included with mantel accessories (see

tions are included with each accessory.

You may have to cut a hole in the floor or
wall to run gas line to firebox. Make sure
to locate access hole so it is covered by
mantel/base when installed.
3. Place hearth base against wall at installation
location. Cut an access hole in hearth top to
run flexible gas line to firebox (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.
4. Route flexible gas line through access
hole in hearth base.
5. Center cabinet mantel on hearth base
(see Figure 12). Make sure mantel is flush
against wall.
