Before you begin — This unit is supplied with a set of three or four rustic split ceramic fiber logs. Do not handle these logs
with your bare hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After handling logs, wash your
hands gently with soap and water to remove any traces of fibers.
The positioning of the logs is critical to the safe and clean operation of this heater.
Sooting and other problems may result if the logs are not properly and firmly
positioned in the appliance. Never add additional logs or embellishments such as
pine cones, vermiculite or rock wool to the heater. Only use the logs supplied with
the unit.
Failure to position the parts in accordance with diagrams below or to use only
parts specifically approved for this heater may result in property damage or personal
injury.
PROPER SEQUENCE OFLOG INSTALLATION
1. Install the rear log (#3) on the top set of locating pins. Visually check to verify the log is securely placed on the
pins, and in contact with the grate.
2. Install the front log(s) (#1 a and b) on top of the piezo and control cover. Center the log left to right to properly
engage the locator lugs. All Weathered Oak Log Sets (WO) have a two piece front log. Install the right log
(longer log) per instructions above, then place the left log in front of the right log.
3. Install the center log (#2) behind the front log on the remaining set of locating pins. Visually check to verify the
log is securely placed on the pins.
4. Install the cross log (#4) by engaging the holes in the cross log onto pins on the center and/or rear log.

PLACING THE DECORATIVE ROCK
DO NOT sprinkle volcanic rock on the logs or around the pilot or the main burner.
This may cause sooting. Only place volcanic rock on the floor of the fireplace.
During initial operation of the new heater, burning logs will give off a paper burning
smell and orange flames will be present. Simply open the windows for a few hours
to vent the odor.
