Appliance Setup
A. Remove the Shipping Materials
Remove shipping materials from inside or underneath
the firebox.
• The splatter guard is a piece of corrugated material
used to protect the appliance during the installation
process before finishing work on the whole hearth is
complete. Splatter guards may be factory installed
or accompany the decorative barrier front of the ap
-
pliance, depending on the appliancee model. Splat
-
ter guards must be removed before appliance is
fired.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Close the ball valve before in-
stalling the splatter guard to prevent accidental lighting.
Remove the splatter guard before lighting the appliance.
D. Install Media/Embers
C. Inspect Firebox
Surface cracking or crazing of firebrick material is normal
and expected. All cracks are acceptable and do not
require replacement of the appliance or the firebox with
the exception of:
• Cracks compromising the surface plane of the firebox.
See Figure 11.1.
Figure 11.1 Surface plane of firebox is compromised and should be
replaced.
B. Clean the Appliance
Clean/vacuum any sawdust that may have accumulated
inside the firebox or underneath in the control cavity.
WARNING! Risk of Explosion!
Follow ember placement
instructions in manual. DO NOT place embers directly over
burner ports. Replace ember material annually. Improperly
placed embers interfere with proper burner operation.
Ember material is shipped with this gas appliance. To place
the ember material:
• There are two types of ember shipped with the appliance.
Glowing Embers
®
for the burner surface and Mystic
Embers for the floor of the appliance.
• Glowing Embers CANNOT be placed directly over ports.
Care should be taken not to cover the lighting trail of
ports (from back to front).
• When placing Glowing Embers
®
onto the burner care
should be taken so that the ports are not covered. Place
the dime-size ember pieces in front and behind of the
port trail, but not on or in between the ports (see Figure
11.2). Failure to follow procedure will likely cause lighting
and sooting problems.
• Place Mystic Embers on areas of base refractory away
from port holes. Use this material to give the appliance
a realistic ash bed.
• Save the remaining ember materials for use during
appliance servicing. The embers provided should be
enough for 3 to 5 applications.
