NOTE: It is important to ensure proper log placement per the manual
when installing these units. Verify pilot flame is not obstructed. See

embers and logs. DO NOT attempt to install the logs until the appliance
installation has been completed, the gas line connected and tested for
leaks and the initial burner operation has been checked out.
READ WARNINGS ON THIS PAGE BEFORE PROCEEDING. FOLLOW THE
LOG PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY
INSTALLATION STEPS:
1. Remove front face assembly by lifting up and pulling away from unit.

Removal and Installation Instructions, Page 34).
3. Remove the following from firebox; log set, bag of embers and bag
of vermiculite. Handle logs carefully to prevent breakage.

of the grate fitting into the 4 dimples on the firebox floor.
5. Placement of Glowing Embers -
Separate the Embers (rockwool) into pieces about the size of a quarter
(see Figure 59). Keep the pieces fluffed up, not matted. Distribute
these pieces over the surface of the burner, as shown in Figure 60.
Do not use more than is necessary. Ensure that the main burner ports
remain uncovered by the ember material.

floor.

the grate (the entire bag of vermiculite will NOT be used). See Figure 60.
DO NOT PLACE ANY VERMICULITE ON THE BURNER.
NOTE: This appliance is provided with enough Glowing Embers for
several applications, do not use all that is in a new bag at one time. For
best glowing effect, replace the ember material annually. Replacement

• DO NOT attempt to install the logs until the appli-
ance installation has been completed, the gas
line connected and tested for leaks and the initial
burner operation has been checked out.
• The size and position of the log set was engineered
to give the appliance a safe, reliable and attrac-
tive flame pattern. Any attempt to use a different
log set in the fireplace will void the warranty and
will result in incomplete combustion, sooting, and
poor flame quality.
• Logs get very hot and will remain hot up to one
hour after gas supply is turned off. Handle only
when logs are cool. Turn off all electricity to the
appliance before you install grate, volcanic stone,
vermiculite, embers and logs.
• This appliance is not designed to burn wood. Any
attempt to do so could cause irreparable damage to
the appliance and prove hazardous to your safety.
• If logs are not installed according to the log
installation instructions, flame impingement
and improper combustion could occur and result
in soot and/or excessive production of carbon
monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.
