Placement Of Glowing Embers (Rock Wool); Operation Instructions/Flame Appearance - White Mountain Hearth VFP24FP3 Series Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

PLACEMENT OF GLOWING EMBERS (ROCK WOOL)

Provided with the log set is a small bag of glowing embers (rock
wool) to be placed between logs on the flat metal surface of the
burner.
Placement of the embers (rock wool) is very individual and light
coverage of the areas indicated will provide your best effects. We
recommend separation of the rock wool by hand and make your
coverage as light and fluffy as possible.
Place just enough embers (rock wool) on the burner to obtain the
glow and a gold yellow flame.
Do not place rock wool over large ports in rear portion of burner.
A thin layer of rock wool should be placed under open space
between the right and left middle logs.
Rock wool should not be placed in the area of the pilot assembly.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS/FLAME APPEARANCE

Flames from the pilot (rear right back side of the pan burner) as
well as the main flame should be visually checked as the log set
is installed.
In normal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the flame
appearance should be sets of yellow flames.
NOTICE: all flames will be random by design, flame height will go
up and down.
Glowing embers (rock wool) can cover the pan burner in between
the front and middle logs, but very little is necessary to cover this
area. Excess ember material causes the yellow flame to become
orange and stringy. Apply just enough to obtain slow glow and a
gold, yellow flame.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to
blow directly into fireplace. Do not place a blower inside the burner
area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter flame
patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.

NOTICE: A single layer of embers is to be used when applying
Platinum Bright Embers (alone or in combination with production
embers) to the burner.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components
of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents.
These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke
and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the
appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This
is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner
at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening
windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining
after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with
continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed
position. This can lead to pilot outages and severe sooting outside
the fireplace.
