ROcK WOOL pLAcEMENt
1. Place rock wool on burner to provide glowing
embers. For best results, pull the rock wool
apart into pieces the size of a dime or smaller.
NOtE: Embers must be loosely placed to allow
proper burner flame.
2. Distribute one layer of rock wool to cover the
burner. Figure 60
3. Place the logs on the burner. Refer to Log
Placement below. Light unit and after 15 min-
utes, check burner flame and glow. Refer to
Burner Flame, Page 49.
If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off
unit and let cool. After unit cools, remove logs. If
the back holes are clear, add more rock wool to the
center of the burner. Replace logs and check flame
again. Save left over rock wool to refresh when
cleaning later. Too much rock wool can disturb the
flame and cause sooting on the glass or logs.

firmly on the two log mounting pins on the bars. Figure

back side of the log in the flat area of the rear log. Place
the narrow front end of the log next to the center vertical
grate bar. Figure 61
3. Place the top left log (#3) on the rear log. Nest the
forked end of the top left log into the fork or the rear
log. Rest the narrow end of the top left log behind the
center vertical grate bar. Figure 61

LAVA ROcK AND EMBER pLAcEMENt

Sprinkle lava rock on the floor of the inner combustion
chamber. Evenly distribute the rock. Do not pile the lava rock
up in front of grate. Do not place lava rock on the burner.
If desired, purchase optional embers to decorate the floor
of the fireplace.
Do not sprinkle the lava rock or ember
chunks on top of the burner. This may
