Installing the Trim
Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified
clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace,
but
MUST NEVER
overlap onto the front face. The joints
between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides
can only be sealed with a 300° F. (149° C) minimum sealant.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,
NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/
OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible
materials can be used to cover up the gap between the
sheet rock and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When
overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the
bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door removed.
Positioning the Logs
If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not
need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged
separately, refer to the instructions that accompany the
logs.
Save the log instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.

Step 10. Installing Trim, Logs,
and Ember Material
Placing the Ember Material
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. The bag
labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard glowing ember
material.
To place the ember material:
Pull the four glass latches out of the groove on the glass
frame. Remove glass door from the unit (see Figure 30).
Place dime size pieces of ember material about 1/2 inch
apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press em-
bers into burner ports. Cover the top of the burner with a
single layer of ember material. For best performance do
NOT place embers on the ports at the rear of the burner.
Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire-
place servicing. The bag of embers provided is sufficient
for 3 to 5 applications.
Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit.
Pull out and latch the glass clips into the groove on the
glass frame.
