FINAL INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OF AIR DEFLECTION
GLASS
NOTE
: The 32" deflector glass must be installed prior
to placing any fireglass or stone media on the burner.
To install the air deflection glass simply place the tabs
(located at the bottom of the glass) into the slots at
either end of the burner floor, in front of the burner ports.
The glass should stand upright, neither leaning forward
nor backward. Repeat for the second glass deflector
installation.
FIREGLASS ONLY PLACEMENT
NOTE: Two (2) bags of fireglass are supplied with the
fireplace. Both bags may be used to cover the entire floor
and burner. We advise against using additional fireglass
as too much can cut off the proper amount of air the burner
needs to burn cleanly. This may cause sooting.
1. Spread fireglass evenly in one layer over the entire floor
and burner. It is important to not have the fireglass too
thick on ported area (single layer only).
2. Turn burner on and adjust fireglass over ported areas
to achieve an even, clean flame.
GLASS AND OPTIONAL STONE KIT
PLACEMENT
1. For best results, spread fireglass evenly over the entire
floor and burner making sure the fireglass is not too
thick over the burner ports (single layer only).
2. Place the stones randomly in front of and behind the
air deflection glass. CAUTION: Do not allow stones to
sit directly on burner or in flame. Figure 16.
3. Turn burner on and adjust fireglass over the ported area
to achieve an even, clean flame. (page 27 , Figure
32.)
