gas professional to redirect the main gas line; consult with your local fireplace specialist to correct any issues
with the fireplace.
•
With a pencil, make a small notation on the fireplace floor to show the location of the grate feet and burner
edges. This will allow an easy replacement of these parts later on. Remove the grate and burner.
•
Attach the 1/2-inch elbow fitting onto the main gas supply and seal with gas-approved Teflon tape or pipe-
sealing compound. Once secure, replace the burner.
•
Connect the flexible gas line to the burner and to the newly added fitting onto the main gas supply but do not
tighten until after final shaping of the line. After installation, the gas line should be curved but try to avoid as
many hard turns as possible. Locate the path of the gas line so that it doesn’t make contact with the fireplace
grate and avoid the path of the line from traveling through the burner flames. Once the desired shape to the gas
line is achieved, tighten the fittings on the flexible gas line.
Note: Gas line fittings are flared and therefore need not be sealed with pipe-sealing compound or Teflon tape.
•
Check for leaks using a soap and water solution or leak checking solution and never with an open flame. Apply to
all gas connections and fittings. Turn gas on for 3-5 seconds to test for leaks. Observe for bubbles at the
connection points. Correct any leaks before proceeding.
•
Fill the burner with the included sand granules. Slope the sand with the shape of the burner tapering it from the
front to the back. Avoid spilling the sand outside of the pan as much as possible. Cover the burners completely.
Do not pat down. Note: you may have extra sand when done.
See Figure A.
•
Install the glowing ember material to the top of the sand, breaking up any chunks into smaller pieces, which will
enhance the glow. When breaking up the chunks, focus on the front embers as they are the most visible. Do not
pat down.
See Figure B.
Note: To prevent skin irritation, wash your hands after handling glowing ember material.
•
Replace the fireplace grate, being careful to not disturb the embers.
See Figure C.
•
The included glass gets installed in a strip in front of the log burner and on the sides of the burner and grate.
When installed, the glass should cover the stainless steel lip on the front of the burner and sides along with
some of the gas line and fittings. Do not place any glass into the burner.
See Figure D.

Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts specifically approved
