(see
Removing Glass Enclosure Panels
on
Page 30
).
2. Remove log set box from firebox.
Next,
remove embers and volcanic stone from
control compartment.
Handle logs carefully
to prevent breakage.
3. Install decorative volcanic stone -
Sprinkle
the decorative volcanic stone in a pleasing
pattern (see
Figure 42
)
. The volcanic stone

bottom, along the slope and to the back at
the right and left sides of the burner. Posi-
tion any ceramic fiber liners before placing
the stone. Logs can be positioned after the
volcanic stone.

WARNING: The size and position
of the log set was engineered to
give the appliance a safe, reliable
and attractive flame pattern. Any
attempt to use a different log set
in the fireplace will void the war-
ranty and will result in incomplete
combustion, sooting, and poor
flame quality.
WARNING: This appliance is
not designed to burn wood. Any
attempt to do so could cause irrep-
arable damage to appliance and
prove hazardous to your safety.
WARNING: If logs are not installed
according to the log installation
instructions, flame impingement
and improper combustion could
occur and result in soot and/or
excessive production of carbon
monoxide (CO), a colorless, odor-
less, toxic gas.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to
install the logs until the appliance
installation has been completed,
the gas line connected and tested
for leaks and the initial burner
operation has been checked out.

Placement of Glowing Embers -
Separate the Embers (rockwool) into pieces
about the size of a quarter (see
Figure 43
)
.
Keep the pieces fluffed up, not matted. Dis-
tribute these pieces over the surface of the
burner, as shown in
Figures 44 and 45.
Do
not use more than is necessary.
Ensure that
the main burner slots remain uncovered by
the ember material
. Position the embers on
the small holes of the ember bed area.
Note
:
This appliance is provided with enough
Glowing Embers for several applications, do
not use all that is in a new bag at one time.
For best glowing effect, replace the ember
material annually.
5. Placement of Logs -
All logs that have locating notches or slots to
help ensure that they are properly positioned.
All top logs that rest on lower logs, do so
over notches, indents or nubs. Proper log
placement is critical to prevent sooting. Logs
should be placed in the gaps between the flame
peaks and should be positioned so they do not
impinge the flames.
