Rock Wool Placement; Log Placement; Lava Rock Placement - MHSC 2000 SERIES Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

FINAL INSTALLATION

ROCK WOOL PLACEMENT

1. Place rock wool on burner to provide glowing
embers. For best results, pull the rock wool apart
into pieces the size of a nickel or smaller.
2. Locate the back row of holes on the burner. See
Figure 23. Starting at the front edge of the back
holes, evenly distribute one layer of rock wool as
you come forward. Cover the entire burner except
for the back holes.
3. Place the logs on the burner. See "Log Placement"
below. Light unit and after 15 minutes, check burner
flame and glow. See "Burner Flame", page 30.
If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit
and let cool. After unit cools, remove logs. Make sure
the back holes in the burner are not covered with rock
wool. If the back holes are clear, add more rock wool to
the center of the burner. Replace logs and check flame
again. Save left over rock wool to refresh when cleaning
later. Too much rock wool can disturb the flame and
cause sooting on the glass or logs.

LOG PLACEMENT

1. Place rear log (#1) on grate assembly. Log should rest
firmly on the two log mounting pins on the horizontal bars.
See Figure 24.
2. Place top right log (#2) on the rear log. Rest the right back
side of the log in the flat area of the rear log. Place the
narrow front end of the log next to the center vertical grate
bar. See Figure 24.
3. Place the top left log (#3) on the rear log. Nest the forked
end of the top left log into the fork or the rear log. Rest
the narrow end of the top left log behind the center vertical
grate bar. See Figure 24.
LAVA ROCK AND EMBERS PLACEMENT
Sprinkle lava rock on the floor of the inner combustion chamber.
Evenly distribute the rock. Do not pile the lava rock up in front of
grate. Do not place lava rock on the burner. If desired, purchase
optional embers to decorate the floor of the fireplace.
Do not sprinkle the lava rock or ember
chunks on top of the burner. This may
cause potential sooting, glass breakage
and a fire hazard.
