INSTALLATION
Conventional installation of this fireplace involves
installing fireplace along with the corner, face or
cabinet mantel with hearth base accessories against
a wall in your home. Follow the instructions below
to install the fireplace in this manner.
Note:
The instructions in this section show instal-
lation 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 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 in-
stallation 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 Install-
ing Gas Piping to Fireplace Location, page 13.
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). Make sure mantel is flush against wall.
7. Break off nailing flanges (see Figure 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.
9. Attach flexible gas line from fireplace gas
regulator to gas supply. See Connecting
Fireplace to Gas Supply, page 14.
