Final Installation; Rockwool Placement; Log Placement; Lava Rock And Embers Placement - Monessen Hearth BDV300 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

ROCK WOOL PLACEMENT
1. Place rock wool on burner to provide glowing
embers. For best results, pull the rock wool apart
into pieces the size of a nickel or smaller.
2. Distribute one layer of rock wool to cover the entire
burner. Fill front gap between grate and burner. See
Figure 39.
3. Place the logs on the burner. See Log Placement
below. Light unit and after 15 minutes, check burner
flame and glow. See Burner Flame, page 35.
If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit
and let cool. After unit cools, remove logs. If the back
holes are clear, add more rock wool to the center of the
burner. Replace logs and check flame again. Save left
over rock wool to refresh when cleaning later. Too much
rock wool can disturb the flame and cause sooting on
the glass or logs.

LOG PLACEMENT

1. Place rear log (#1) on grate assembly. Log should rest firmly
on the two log mounting pins on the horizontal bars. See
Figure 40.
2. Place top right log (#2) on the rear log. Rest the right back
side of the log in the flat area of the rear log. Place the narrow
front end of the log next to the center vertical grate bar. See
Figure 40.
3. Place the top left log (#3) on the rear log. Nest the forked
end of the top left log into the fork or the rear log. Rest the
narrow end of the top left log behind the center vertical grate
bar. See Figure 40.

LAVA ROCK AND EMBERS PLACEMENT

Sprinkle lava rock on the floor of the inner combustion chamber.
Evenly distribute the rock. Do not pile the lava rock up in front of
grate. Do not place lava rock on the burner. If desired, purchase
optional embers to decorate the floor of the fireplace.
Do not sprinkle the lava rock or ember
chunks on top of the burner. This may
cause potential sooting, glass breakage
and a fire hazard.
