INSTALLING LAVA ROCK AND
GLOWING EMBERS
It is very important to keep logs exactly as
installed. Do not modify logs. Only use log
set designed for this fireplace. Logs under
log/grate assembly are attached to burner.
Do not attempt to move these logs as this
will damage logs.
WARNING: Logs are unitized
and attached to the grate. Do not
handle log/grate assembly by
logs. Always pick up by grate.
Open louvers, remove screen, unlock door
latches and open glass door. See
Removing
Glass Door
, steps 1 and 2, page 24.
1. Pull ember material apart into pieces no
larger than a dime. Place these pieces
loosely and sparingly directly onto exposed
front section of burner (see Figure 39). This
will create the glowing ember appearance
as flame touches ember material. Do not
block air slots by using too much ember
material in one area.
Place small pieces of
ember material up to the pilot and cover all
pilot ports. It is not necessary to use all of
the ember material provided
.
2. Pour lava rock onto plenum but not onto
flat burner. It is not necessary to use all
of the lava rock provided.
NOTICE: Do not put lava rock on
burner or under burner. Placing
lava rock on burner will cause
performance problems.
3. Close glass door, lock door latches, replace
screen and close louvers (see
Removing
Glass Door
, steps 5 through 7).
WARNING: The glass door
must be securely in place before
running this fireplace. Do not run
this fireplace if glass is missing
or broken.
