ADDING PAN MATERIAL

1.  Open bag of ash bed material (vermicu

-

lite) and spread it evenly across burner 
pan  to  the  top. You  may  overflow  front 
and sides of pan to cover entire pan. Do 
not cover valve.

2.  Open glowing embers and evenly cover 

ash bed material (vermiculite) in burner 
pan.

INSTALLING GRATE AND LOGS

1.  Place  grate  over  burner  pan  where  two 

outer horizontal supports on grate fit into 
two pan positioning notches in rear vertical 
edge of pan.

2.  Slide  two  rear  log  grate  steps  over  two 

outer  horizontal  supports  on  grate  as 
shown in Figure 14.

3.  Place back log on grate onto grate steps 

(see Figure 15, page 11).

4.  Place  front  log(s)  on  grate  and  slide 

forward against front bars on grate (see 
Figure 15, page 11).

5.  Place smaller top logs onto bottom logs (see 

Figure 16, page 11). Leave as much open 
space between logs as possible to minimize 
flame impingement and sooting. 

 

Note: Logs may chip if they are handled 
roughly  or  if  hit  together  while  being 
placed.

4.  Insert receiver into simulated log control 

cover, with raised cylinder fitting into the 
hole in cover.

5.  The  cover  may  be  moved  aside  when 

operation of gas control is necessary.

GWMS2

When installing GWMS2 remote wall switch 
option, follow all instructions included with ac

-

cessory. Connect wires as shown in Figure 13. 
You will need to route wiring away from gas 
control and log set in a way which prevents 
direct radiant heat on wires.

No Optional Accessories

If you choose no remote accessories at this 
time, provided jumper wire must be installed to 
terminal block on gas control. Connect lead to 
fast-on terminals marked TH and TPTH.

TESTING BURNER FOR LEAKS

1.  Generously  apply  soapy  solution  to  all 

connections.

 WARNING: Never check for 

gas leaks with open flame.

2.  Light  burner  with shutoff valve  no more 

than  half  open  and  holding  a  match 

slightly  in  front  of  pan  (see 

Lighting  In-

structions

, page 12).

3.  Inspect  all  connections  for  bubbles,  raw 

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

4.  When  burner  is  tested  and  leak  free, 

observe  individual  tongues  of  flame  on 
burner. 

 

Note:  Burner  design  includes  more 
ports  on  outside  of  bar.  Make  sure  that 

all  ports  are  clear  and  producing  flame 

evenly across burner. If any ports appear 
blocked, clear them by removing burner 
manifold and reaming ports with a modi-

fied paper clip or other suitable tool.

5.  When  finished  testing,  turn  gas  shutoff 

valve OFF to extinguish all flames.
