crossover log) onto logs #4 and #5 as shown in Figure 47.
7. Pull ember material apart into pieces no larger than a dime.
Place these pieces loosely and sparingly directly onto the
exposed front section of the burner (see Figure 48). This will
create the glowing ember appearance as the flame touches the
ember material. Do not block air slots by using too much ember
material in one area. It is not necessary to use all of the ember
material provided.
NOtICE: Do not put lava rock on burner or under burner.
Placing lava rock on burner will cause performance
problems.
8. Close glass door, lock door latches, replace screen, and close
louvers (see
Removing/Replacing Glass Door
, steps 5 through
7 on page 19).
WARNING: The glass door must be securely in place
before running this fireplace. Do not run this fireplace
if glass is missing or broken.
