CAUTION: IF JOINTS BETWEEN THE FINISHED WALLS
AND THE FIREPLACE SURROUND (TOP AND SIDES)
ARE SEALED, A 300° F. MINIMUM SEALANT MATE-
RIAL MUST BE USED. THESE JOINTS ARE NOT RE-
QUIRED TO BE SEALED. ONLY NON-COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL (USING 300° F. MINIMUM ADHESIVE, IF
NEEDED) CAN BE APPLIED AS FACING TO THE FIRE-
PLACE SURROUND. SEE THE DIAGRAM BELOW.

Hearth Extensions
A hearth extension may be desirable for aesthetic reasons.
However, ANSI or CAN/CGA testing standards do not require
hearth extensions for gas fireplace appliances.
Step 11. Installing Trim, Logs & Ember Material
Installing the Trim
Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified
clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace,
but MUST NEVER overlap onto the front face. The joints
between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides
can only be sealed with a 300° F. (149° C) minimum sealant.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible
materials can be used to cover up the gap between the
sheetrock and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When
overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the
bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door removed.

Positioning the Logs
Refer to the installation instructions that accompany the
logs. Save the Log Instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.
Placing the Ember Material
The bag labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard
glowing ember material. To place the ember material:
• Unhook the spring clips around the glass door. Remove
the glass door.
• Ember material is to be placed on burner with caution. Do
NOT place ember material over burner port holes. Place
only dime size pieces along outer edges of port trails (see
Figure 3.31). The bag is for (4) ember applications. Failure
to apply ember material as directed could result in poor
lighting conditions and sooting problems. Save the remain-
ing ember materials for use during fireplace servicing.
