Log Placement; Placing The Decorative Rock - Monessen Hearth DEB20 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

LOG PLACEMENT

Before you begin — This unit is supplied with four or five ceramic fiber logs. Do not handle these logs with your bare
hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After handling the logs, wash your hands
gently with soap and water to remove any traces of fibers.
The positioning of the logs are 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.

PLACING THE DECORATIVE ROCK

DO NOT sprinkle volcanic rock on the logs, around the pilot, or on or near burners. This
may cause sooting. Place volcanic rock only 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.
