    UF0510 CONTEMPORARY MEDIA & BURNER UF-0510 Glass Beads Installation The UF-0510 comes from the factory with the contemporary burner installed . This unit does not have logs, but is instead completed with colored glass beads or ceramic rocks to give your fireplace the sleek cosmopolitan look. Installation is as simple as spreading the beads you have chosen, evenly over the burner so that it is completely covered.

First randomly place the larger size rocks so they do not completely block the burner ports or the six round secondary air Second, randomly fill in the gaps with the medium size stones so they do not directly block off the air or burner ports. They can be placed over the ports as long as they do not completely block them off.
