Step 10. Finishing
Figure 9 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding
maximum horizontal dimensions of fireplace mantels or other
combustible projections above the top front edge of the
fireplace. See Figures 2 and 3 for other fireplace clearances.
Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the
black fireplace front.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,

Step 11. Installing Trim, Logs

Installing the Trim

Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified
clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace,
but MUST NEVER overlap onto the front face. The joints
between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides
can only be sealed with a 300° F (149° C) minimum sealant.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,
!
NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/
OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible
materials can be used to cover up the gap between the
sheet rock and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When
overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the
bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door removed.

Positioning the Logs

If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not
need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged
separately, refer to the instructions that accompany the
logs. Save the log instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.

Placing the Ember Material

Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. To place
the ember material:
• Pull the four glass latches out of the tabs on the glass
frame. Remove glass door from the unit (see Figure 11).
• Embers CANNOT be placed directly over ports. Care
should be taken not to cover the lighting trail of ports
(from back to front).
1
1/2"
• When placing Glowing embers onto the burner care
should be taken so that the ports are not covered. Place
the embers along side the port trail, but not on or in be-
tween the ports. Failure to follow this procedure will likely
cause lighting and sooting problems (see Figure 12).
• Place Mystic embers on areas of base refractory away
from port holes. Use this material to give your fireplace a
realistic ash bed.
• Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire-
place servicing.
• Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit.
• Pull out and latch the glass clips into the tabs on the
glass frame.
