INSTALLATION OF LAVA ROCK/MEDIA INTO BURNER PAN

Install lava rock into the burner pan. Ensure the lava rock is a

1-inch diameter for proper operation.

Note:

Do not pour Lava

Rock directly from bag. It should be placed naturally and NOT

packed in tight. Loose fitting is important to ensure robust flames.

Be sure rocks are free of any excessive dust. This prevents the

burner pan weep holes from being plugged and holding water.

IMPORTANT

Do not place rock over top or under the screen

cover.

The screen must be free of any debris to ensure proper

lighting of burner and good flame sense (See Fig. 17).

Cover the burner completely with media but do not make the depth

greater than 1-inch overtop of the burner portholes.

Do NOT cover the screen mesh with any rock or glass. It must be

free an any debris to operate properly.

IGNITOR ALIGNMENT

It is important check that the ignitor probes be properly aligned over-

top of the burner port holes and did not move during shipping. Use

the Fig.16 as a guide. Before lighting remove the screen cover of the

ignition hood to burner and ensure the thermocouple is directly over-

top of a burner port hole. The sparking probes and the thermocouple

must be in the path of a flame to ignite the gas for proper ignition of

the flame. Replace the screen cover and follow the operating

instructions.
