Placing the Ember Material
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. The bag
labeled Glowing Embers (050-721) is standard glowing
ember material. To place the ember material:
•
Remove the door by lifting it up and away from the unit.
•
Unlatch the latches at the top and bottom of the glass.
•
Remove the glass from the unit (see Figure 44).
•
Place dime size pieces of ember material about 1/2 inch
apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press em-
bers into burner ports. Cover the top of the burner with a
single layer of ember material. For best performance do
NOT place embers on the ports at the rear of the burner
(see Figure 45).
•
Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire-
place servicing. The bag of embers provided is sufficient
for 3 to 5 applications.
•
Reinstall and latch the glass and door on the unit.

Step 11. Before Lighting the Fireplace
Before
lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:
Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.
Review safety warnings and cautions
• Read the
Safety and Warning Information
section at
the beginning of this
Installers Guide
.
Double-check for gas leaks
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible gas leaks.
Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for
obstructions.
• Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for
possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter-
minations or the front grilles.
Double-check for faulty components
• Any component that is found to be faulty
MUST BE
re-
placed with an approved component. Tampering with the
fireplace components is
DANGEROUS
and voids all war-
ranties.
A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When
first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the
lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is
complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.
Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this
purging of air from the gas supply lines,
unless
the gas
valve has been turned to the OFF position
, in which
case the air would have to be purged.
NOTE:
The fireplace should be run for 3 to 4 hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove
and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace
for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
!
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.
