DECORATIVE GLASS OR ROCK MEDIA ACCESSORY
PLACEMENT
Note:
The G-Class Series Mantis fireplace will accept two square
feet of decorative media.
Empire Comfort Systems offers a selection of decorative media
for the G-Class series Mantis fireplace. It is approved for use with
glass media measuring as small as 1/4 inch and up to 1-1/4 inch
in diameter. See page 7. Additional colors may be available from
your Empire dealer. Empire Comfort Systems approved rock me-
dia may also be used. See page 7.
Use properly sized media - crushed, smooth, small, large, or a
combination - to create the desired look. Follow the diagrams in
this manual for placement of media and clearance to burner open-
ings.
CAUTION
Use of gloves and eye protection is required while applying
the decorative glass.
CAUTION
Use only decorative glass media approved for use in gas
fireplaces.
CAUTION
Use only Empire Comfort Systems approved decorative
rock media.
INSTALLATION
1. Application of the Decorative Media should only be performed
after the fireplace has been fully installed, secured and tested
for leaks.
2. To install the Decorative Media, cut off a corner of the plastic
bag and proceed to apply the media to the rear of the porce-
lain liner bottom (area behind the burner). Apply only enough
media to the porcelain liner bottom to cover the black metal
surface. Do not allow the media to fall around the burner tube.
See Figures 67 to 69. Apply the remaining decorative media
to the front area of the porcelain liner bottom. Start by placing
the media along the front of the porcelain liner bottom, then
gradually place the media up the porcelain liner bottom until
completely covered. Do not allow the media to fall around the
burner tube. See Figures 61 to 69.
CAUTION
Never stack decorative media higher than the burner open-
ing flanges when within two inches of the burner opening.
See Figure 70
