BUILT-IN FIREPLACE
INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this fireplace involves in-
stalling fireplace into a framed-in enclosure. This
makes the front of fireplace flush with wall. If in-
stalling a mantel above the fireplace, you must fol-
low the clearances shown in Figure 16, page 12.
Follow the instructions below to install the fire-
place in this manner.
1. Frame in rough opening. Use dimensions shown
in Figure 13 for the rough opening. If installing
in a corner, use dimensions shown in Figure 14
for the rough opening. The height is 33" which
is the same as the wall opening above.
2. If using blower, install and properly ground
GA3555, three-prong 120 volt electrical outlet,
in fireplace. Follow instructions included in kit.
3. Install gas piping into 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 Loca-
tion, pages 12 and 13.
4. Carefully set fireplace in front of rough open-
ing with back of fireplace inside wall opening.
5. Carefully insert fireplace into rough opening.
6. Attach flexible gas line to gas supply. See
Connecting Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 14.

wood screws through holes in nailing flange

8. Check all gas connections for leaks. See
Checking Gas Connections, pages 15 and 16.
9. Plug electrical cord into electrical outlet in-
stalled in step 2.

ing of wall (see Figure 7, page 9).
