NOTE: Turn OFF all electricity to the fire-
place before installing volcanic stone,
glowing embers, or logs.
1. Remove the front glass enclosure panel
(see "Removing and Installing the Glass

Separate the Embers (rockwool) into pieces
about the size of a quarter (Figure 8). Keep
the pieces fluffed up, not matted. Distribute
these pieces over the surface of the burner,
as shown in Figures 9 and 10. Do not use
more than is necessary. Ensure that the
large burner slots remain uncovered by
the ember material. Position the embers
on the small holes of the ember bed area.
Figure 8
5. Install the Logs.
The logs have locating notches or slots to
help ensure that they are properly positioned.
The 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. Follow the
log placement instructions exactly.
SLBV-35: Install logs as shown in Figure 9.
SLBV-40: Install logs as shown in Figure 10.

WARNING
• 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.
• 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,
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, 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.
