Step 10. Installing Trim, Logs,
and 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.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,
!
NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/
OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.
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
sheet rock 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.
Placing the Ember Material and Vermiculite
To place the Glowing Ember (050-721) material:
1. Remove the top and bottom louvers by lifting them up
and away from the unit.
2. Unlatch the latches at the top and bottom of the glass door.
3. Remove the glass door from the unit.
4. Cover the top of the burner (front ports only) with a single
layer of ember material. The manufacturer recommends
small amounts of ember material, if desired.
5. Pour the vermiculite onto the basepan surrounding the
burner. The vermiculite must be located only outside of
the log grate. Maximum thickness one inch high (see
Figure 32).
6. Save the remaining vermiculite and ember materials for
use during fireplace servicing. Note: Ensure vermiculite
remains in the base pan only. Vermiculite must not con-
tact any burner surfaces.
7. Reinstall and latch the glass door and louvers on the
unit (See Replacement Parts Section of the manual.)
GLASS SPECIFICATIONS:
Heat-N-Glo fireplaces manufactured with tempered glass may
be installed in hazardous locations such as bathtub enclo-
sures as defined by the CPSC. The tempered glass has
been tested and certified to the requirements of ANSI Z97.1-
1984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing Certification
Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Architectural Testing, Inc.
Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01.)
This statement is in compliance with SPCS 16 CFR Sec-
tion 1201.5 "Certification and labeling requirements" which
refers to 15 USC 2063 stating "...Such certificate shall ac-
company the product or shall otherwise be furnished to any
distributor or retailer to whom the product is delivered."
Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass
with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting
this requirement is available from the factory. Please con-
tact your dealer or distributor to order.
