Figure 6: Glowing Ember Placement
Step 1. Remove the appliance front door (see
Removing Glass Enclosure panel on Page 11.
Step 2. Install volcanic stone—Sprinkle the
volcanic stone in a pleasing pattern. The
volcanic stone should be placed directly on
top of the fi rebox bottom, along the front and
to the back at the right and left sides of the
burner. Position any optional ceramic fi ber
liners before placing the volcanic stone. Logs
should be positioned after the volcanic stone.
Note: This appliance is provided with
enough glowing embers for several
applications, do not feel compelled to use
all that is in a new bag. For best glowing
effect, replace the ember material annually.
Replacement glowing embers are available
(Catalog Number 88L53).
Step 3. Separate the glowing embers into
pieces about the size of a quarter (Figure 7).
Keep the pieces fl uffed up, not matted.
Distribute these pieces over the front
surface of the burner, as shown in Figure 6.
Do not use more than is necessary. When
properly positioned, the glowing embers will
cover approximately 65% of the front burner
and with no appreciable gaps or openings.
Ensure that the main burner ports remain
uncovered by the ember material.

Step 4. Placement of Logs—All top logs
that rest on lower logs, do so over notches,
indents or nubs. Proper log placement is
critical to prevent sooting. Logs should be
placed in the gaps between the fl ame peaks
and should be positioned so they do not
impinge the fl ames.
Step 5. Position the individual logs as shown
in Figures 8, 9, and 10. Logs should be
placed in the order shown. All logs that have
notches to fi t over the grate tines should be
positioned with these notches directly against
the grate. Handle logs carefully to prevent
breakage.
Proper log placement is critical to encourage
outstanding fl ame appearance and prevent
sooting. When positioned properly as shown,
logs will be positioned between fl ame peaks
and will not impinge any fl ames.
