Step 9. Installing Logs - Lennox EDV40RNM Installation Instructions Manual

Step 9. INSTALL VOLCANIC STONE,
GLOWING EMBERS AND LOGS
WARNING
• DO NOT attempt to install the
logs until the appliance instal-
lation 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
attractive flame pattern. Any
attempt to use a different log
set in the fireplace will void
the warranty and will result in
incomplete combustion, soot-
ing, 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 appli-
ance 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 accord-
ing to the log installation
instructions, flame impinge-
ment and improper combustion
could occur and result in soot
and/or excessive production
of carbon monoxide (CO), a
colorless, odorless, toxic gas.

NOTE: Turn off all electricity to the appliance
before you install volcanic stone, 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.
Step 1. Remove the appliance front door (see
Removing Glass Encloslure panel on Page 30.
Step 2. Install decorative volcanic stone -
Sprinkle the decorative volcanic stone in a pleas-
ing pattern. The volcanic stone should be placed
directly on top of the firebox bottom, along the
front and to the back at the right and left sides of
the burner. Position any optional ceramic fiber
liners before placing the 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 Em-
bers are available (Catalog Number 88l53).
Step 3. Separate the Glowing Ember (rockwool)
into pieces about the size of a quarter (Figure
54). Keep the pieces fluffed up, not matted.
Distribute these pieces over the front surface
of the burner, as shown in Figure 55. 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 flame peaks and
should be positioned so they do not impinge
the flames.
Step 5. Position the individual logs as shown
in Figures 56 and 57. Logs should be placed
in the order shown. All logs that have notches
to fit 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 flame appearance and prevent
sooting. When positioned properly as shown,
logs will be positioned between flame peaks
and will not impinge any flames.
Refer to Figure 56 for EDV35 Series appliances
and to Figure 57 for EDV40 and EDV45 Series
appliances.
