Place lava rock on top of the control access panel, in front of, under and around burner. When placing vermiculite,
sprinkle it evenly over the area covered by the lava rock. See Figures 18 and 19. It is not necessary to use all of the
lava rock or vermiculite. Save the remainders for future use.

Place approximately 1/2 diameter pieces of rock wool under the front logs, on the bottom hearth log. Place the rock
wool the full length of the burner. Do not pack the wool tightly against the burner. This appliance is supplied with two
bags of rock wool. It is not necessary to use all the wool. Save the remaining amount for future use. See Figure 20.

the rock wool in the appliance, sprinkle some of the fire glow on top of the hearth log and rock wool. As with the lava
rock, vermiculite, and rock wool, it is not necessary to use the entire bag. Save the remainder for future use. See
Figure 21.
