  • Page 16 Log Placement Ensure that your heater’s logs are placed as shown below. It’s important that your logs do not cover burner holes, as this can lead to sooting and an overall drop in the performance of your heater. Logs should be placed sequentially, from lowest to highest, as the numbering indicates. There are grooves on many of the logs that allow for simple placement and help to prevent the logs from shifting positions.
  • Page 17: Ember Placement

    Ember Placement Our Gas Log Sets come with two bags with stones and embers. The large bag contains a simulation of stones made of a non-consuming foamy material, which you can place around the burner. The smaller bag contains a material very similar to cotton. These are non-consuming glowing embers.

A simple solution to giving your fire a beautiful and more natural look, when the flames from your fire hit these embers, they glow red like real wood. These are non-consuming, so they can be lit and re-used as long as you want.
