1. Remove the front and the glass frame assembly.
2. Place the long thin glass piece (media retainer) into the
groove in front of the media tray in the firebox opening. This
will keep the decorative media from falling out.
3. Place dime-sized pieces of ember across the burner surface.
A single layer, is sufficient; do not over-apply.
4. Carefully open the bag of glass or fiber rock media. Distribute
the media evenly across the media tray, taking care not to let
the media fall down by the burner or the pilot. If they do, make
sure they don't block the burner or pilot. There are 1/2" walls
around the burner, pilot and back air slots to keep the beads
out.
5. Replace the glass frame assembly and decorative front.
Note:
The total area for decorative media placement is approxi
-
mately two square feet.
CAUTION
Use of gloves and eye protection is required while applying
the decorative glass.
