The effect of glowing embers is created by placing
ember material on the front burner.
1. Make sure the heater is OFF and has cooled
if it has been running.
2. Gently remove embers from the bag using
gloves or tweezers (recommended to prevent
skin irritation). Separate the pieces.
3. Place ember pieces, one at a time, over ports
on flat burner (see Figure 16).
Do NOT place
ember material anywhere else on the unit.
Use only ember material supplied with unit (12
one inch square pieces). Excessive ember mate
-
rial may produce carbon monoxide or soot.
