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.
Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible materials
can be used to cover up the gap between the sheet rock
and the fireplace.
Positioning the Logs
If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not
need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged
separately, refer to the 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 Rock
A bag of rock is shipped with this fireplace. Place lava-rock
as desired on floor of fireplace. Do not place on burner or

Placing the Ember Material
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. The bag
labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard glowing ember
material. To place the ember material:
• Unscrew the two top wing bolts and unlatch the two bot-
tom spring clips. Remove the front trim door and the glass
door from the unit.
• Cover the top of the burner with a single layer of ember
material. For best performance do not place embers di-
rectly on the ports. Save the remaining ember materials
for use during fireplace servicing.
Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit
(see Service Parts List of this manual.)
• Pull out and latch the spring clips into the tabs on the
glass frame and tighten the top wing bolts.
