ASSEMBLING LOGS

WARNING: 

Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts 

specifically approved with this heater may result in property damage or personal injury. 

WARNING:

 All previously applied loose material must be removed prior to reapplication

CAUTION:

 After installation and peridically thereafter, check to ensure that no yellow flame comes in 

contact with any log. With the heater set to High, check to see if yellow flames contact any log. If so, 

reposition logs according to the log installation instructions in this manual. Yellow flames contacting

logs will create soot. 

It is very important to install the logs exactly 

as instructed. Do not modify logs; use only logs 

supplied with heater. Each log is marked with a

number, and this number will help you identify

each log during installation.

Provided Logs: 8

Fig. 19 - Installing Log #1                    Fig. 20 - Installing Log #2-3                      Fig. 21 - Installing Log #4

1. Insert log #1 onto pins in 

middle grate base.

2. Place log #2 & #3 onto 

the front grate. Make sure 

the recessed areas on 

the log match up with the 

grate, and the inside end 

of each log is centered on

ing in the top left recessed 

areas of logs #1 & #2.

Fig. 22 - Installing Log #5                    Fig. 23 - Installing Log #6                      Fig. 24 - Installing Log #7-8

4. Place log #5 so it is 

resting in the top right 

recessed areas of logs #1 

& #4, and just touching the 

top right of log #2.

5. Place log #6 so it is rest-

ing in the crotch of log #4 

and so the crotch of log #6 

is in between log #5.

6. Log #6 & #7 are optional 

- decorative logs that can 

be placed anywhere NOT 

on the unit, but on the floor 

of the firebox. It is recom-

mended to place them as
