INSTALLATION

TESTING BURNER FOR LEAKS
1. Generously apply soapy solution to all connections.
WARNING: Never check for gas leaks with open
flame.
2. Light burner with the shutoff valve no more than half open and
holding a match slightly in front of the pan (see
Lighting Instruc-
tions
, page 10).
3. Inspect all connections for bubbles, raw gas odor, or flame from
any area other than the burner (leaks). If leaks are detected,
shut off gas valve immediately. Tighten, or reassemble loose
connection(s) using pipe joint compound until burner system is
leak free.
4. When burner is tested and leak free, observe the individual tongues
of flame on the burner.
Note:
The burner design includes more ports on the outside of
the bar. Make sure that all ports are clear and producing flame
evenly across the burner. If any ports appear blocked, clear them
by removing the burner manifold and reaming the ports with a
modified paper clip or other suitable tool.
5. When finished testing, turn gas shutoff valve OFF to extinguish
all flames.
ADDING PAN MATERIAL
1. Open bag of ash bed material (vermiculite) and spread it evenly
across burner pan to the top. You may overflow front and sides of
pan to cover entire pan. Do not cover valve or inlet fitting.
2. Open glowing embers and evenly cover ash bed material (ver-
miculite) in the burner pan.
INSTALLING GRATE AND LOGS
1. Place grate over burner pan where the two outer horizontal sup-
ports on the grate fit into the two pan positioning notches in the
rear vertical edge of pan.
2. Slide two rear log grate steps over the two outer horizontal sup-
ports on grate as shown in Figure 12.
3. Place back log on grate onto grate steps (see Figure 13).
4. Place front log(s) on grate and slide forward against front bars
on the grate (see Figure 13).
5. Place smaller top logs onto bottom logs (see Figure 14). Leave
as much open space between logs as possible to minimize flame
impingement and sooting.
Note:
Logs may chip if they are handled roughly or if hit together
while being placed.
