Finishing the Wall
Finish the wall with the material
of your choice. Do not install a
combustible mantle or other
combustible projection above the
fireplace opening unless it is a
minimum of 12 inches above top
of fireplace opening. (Figure 8.1)
CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround (Top and
Sides) can only be sealed with non-combustible material. Only non-combustible mate-
rial can be applied as facing to the fireplace surround. (Figure 8.1)
Hearth Extension
A Hearth Extension may be installed. But it is not required for vented gas fireplaces.
Gas Log Installation
1. Fill burner pan with vermiculite supplied with log set. Note! On L.P. models be care-
ful not to pour vermiculite over brass air mixer attached to burner pan. Air mixer
holes must not be obstructed!
2. Spread the ember material over the vermiculite.
3. At this time, we suggest you test fire the burner. Refer to start up instructions on
page 12. Important! The fireplace damper must be in full open position.
4. Place the grate over the burner and install the logs as illustrated on page 9.
5. The last step is to cover floor of fireplace with volcanic rock around the sides and in
front of burner pan to enhance overall appearance. Note! On L.P. models be careful
not to pour black cinders over brass air mixer attached to burner pan. Air mixer holes
must not be obstructed!

stalled by a qualified service person in accordance with all building codes. Install gas
line to fireplace on the right side attaching gas line to the gas flex line inside the control
box accessed by opening the control box door.
