Installing the volcanic stone, and glowing embers (traditional models)
WARNING
• Turn OFF all gas and electricity to the appliance before installing the volcanic stone, embers, and logs.
• Do NOT install the logs until the appliance has been completely installed, the gas line connected and
tested for leaks, and the initial burner operation has been confirmed.
• Use of an unapproved log set in the fireplace will void the warranty and will result in incomplete
combustion, sooting, and poor flame quality.
• Logs get very hot and remain hot for up to one hour after the gas supply is turned OFF. Handle the logs
only when cool.
• This appliance is not designed to burn wood. Any attempt to do so could cause irreparable damage to
appliance and prove hazardous.
• If the logs are not installed according to these instructions, improper combustion could occur. This could
result in the excessive production of soot and/or the colorless, odorless, toxic gas carbon monoxide (CO).
NOTE: Install the firebox liner before placing the stone. Logs can be installed after the volcanic stone.
1. If necessary, remove the glass door
