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.
When overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so
decorative door is accessible.
Step 10. Installing Trim, Refractory,
Logs and Ember Material
Placing the Ember Material
Three bags of ember material are shipped with this gas
fireplace. The bag labeled Golden Ember (GE-93) is flame
colorant material. The two bags labeled Glowing Ember
(050-721) are standard glowing ember material. To place
the ember material:
• Place dime size pieces of ember material about 1/2
inch apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press
embers into burner ports. Cover the top of the burner
near front and center ports with a single layer of ember
material.
• Sprinkle GE-93 on top of the burner.
• Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire-
place servicing.
• Use of ember material is optional.
Positioning the Refractory
To install refractory and logs the door assembly and glass
must be removed. Door can be removed by lifting approxi-
mately 1/2 inch on both sides and pulling outward. Glass
can then be removed by removing wing nuts and glass clips
(see Figure 31). Remove packaged logs and all packing
materials from inside of fireplace.
1. Remove refractory from separate box and remove pack-
aging material.
2. Position left and right rear refractory pieces against the
back wall of the fireplace (see Figure 29).
3. Place the rear refractory panel such that it sits on left
and right rear pieces. Hold in place until Step 4 is com-
plete.
4. Slide right refractory panel along the right side until it
contacts rear pieces.
5. Repeat Step 4 for the left refractory panel.

The logs have been packaged separately, refer to the in-
structions included.

manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.
