TESTING BURNER FOR LEAKS

1.

connections.

 WARNING: Never check for gas leaks with 

open fl ame.

logs may vary)

INSTALLATION

Testing Burner for Leaks

Adding Pan Material

Installing the Grate and Logs

2.  Light the burner with the shutoff valve no more than half open 

and holding a match slightly in front of the pan (see 

Lighting 

Instructions,

 page 10).

3.  Inspect all connections for bubbles, raw gas odor, or fl ame from 

any area other than the burner (leaks). If leaks are detected, 
shut off the gas valve immediately. Tighten, or reassemble the 
loose connection(s) using pipe joint compound until burner 
system is leak free.

4.  When the burner is tested and leak free, observe the individual 

tongues of fl ame on the burner.  Make sure that all ports are clear 
and producing fl ame evenly across the burner. If any ports ap-
pear blocked, clear them by removing the burner manifold and 
reaming the ports with a modifi ed paper clip or other suitable 
tool.

5. When 

fi nished testing, turn the gas shutoff valve OFF to ex-

tinguish all fl ames.

ADDING PAN MATERIAL

1.  Open the bag of glowing embers and spread it evenly over the 

burner ramp. 

2.  Open the small bag of platinum embers and place them ran-

domly throughout the ember bed; more heavily near the front 
of the ramp.

INSTALLING THE GRATE AND LOGS

1.  Place the grate over the burner pan where the two outer hori-

zontal supports on the grate fi t into the two pan positioning 
tabs on the outer edges of the pan.

2. Place 

the 

large 

back log on the grate at the top tier (rear) of 

the ramp.   (see Figure 16).

3.  Figures 16 and 17 show a suggested log arrangement, however 

you may arrange the logs as you wish.  Leave as much open 
space between logs as possible to minimize fl ame impingement 
and sooting. Note: Logs may chip if they are handled roughly 
or if hit together while being placed.
