GAS FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

1. Fireplace should be fully assembled. See Assembling

Fireplace in fireplace owner’s manual.

2. Mantel must be installed flush with two walls. Remove baseboard along walls where mantel is to be installed.

Baseboard will prevent proper installation of mantel and base.

3. Place mantel base close to installation location. See fireplace owner’s manual for installation clearances. Leave enough room to insert fireplace from back of mantel.
