Example
corner mantel accessory cannot be installed with
the G3000F/G3001U/G3004W/G3006F/G3007U
hearth base. The corner mantel can be paired with
the G3008F/G3009U/G3010F corner hearth base.
If mounting fireplace and cabinet or corner mantel
to the floor, an optional G3005 Slim Base kit may
be installed.
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 9).
3. Install gas piping to fireplace location. This
installation includes an approved flexible gas
line (if allowed by local codes) after the equip-
ment shutoff valve. The flexible gas line must
be the last item installed on the gas piping. See
Installing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location,
page 12.
4. Place hearth base accessory against wall at
installation location. Cut an access hole in
hearth top to run 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 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.
8. Place cardboard or other protective material
on top of hearth base. Carefully set fireplace
on protective material, with back of fireplace
inside mantel opening.
