Installing the Trim
Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified
clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace,
but
MUST NEVER
overlap onto the front face. The joints
between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides
can only be sealed with a 300° F. (149° C) minimum sealant.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible
materials can be used to cover up the gap between the
sheet rock and the fireplace.
When overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so
decorative door is accessible.

Installing Trim, Adjusting Ignitor Air
Deflector Shield, Logs and Ember Material
Placing the Ember Material
Two bags of ember material are shipped with this gas
fireplace. The bag labeled Golden Ember (GE-93) is flame
colorant material. The bag labeled Glowing Ember (050-
721) is standard glowing ember material.
To place the ember material:
• Remove the trim door by lifting up and away from the
unit or if you have an ARCH door, pull away from the
unit to release it from the clips on each side.
• Remove the glass door from the unit. Refer to glass
removal in Figure 23.
• Place dime size pieces of ember material about 1/2
inch apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press
embers into burner ports. Cover the top of the burner
with a single layer of ember material (see Figure 29).
• Sprinkle GE-93 on top of the burner.
• Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire-
place servicing.
• Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit.

Positioning the Logs
The logs have been packaged separately, refer to the
instructions that accompany the logs.
Save the log
instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.
Adjusting the Ignitor Air Deflector Shield.
The shield is factory installed but needs to be field adjusted
before operating the fireplace. After removing the glass as-
sembly, remove the cardboard which holds the burner as-
sembly down. Loosen the two outer screws on the ignitor
bracket toward the back of the firebox. Push the shield back
until it comes in contact with the back of the fiberbox. Re-
tighten the two screws loosened earlier. See Figure 28.
Figure 28. Mounting Air Deflector
NOTE: IT IS VERY CRITICAL TO ENSURE THAT THE
IGNITOR AIR DEFLECTOR SHIELD WAS FACTORY IN-
STALLED AND THAT IT IS PROPERLY FIELD ADJUST-
ED BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT. WHEN THE IGNI-
TOR AIR DEFLECTOR SHIELD IS ADJUSTED IT
SHOULD BE PUSHED BACK TO COME IN CONTACT
WITH THE BACK OF THE FIREBOX.
Heat-N-Glo fireplaces manufactured with tempered glass
may be installed in hazardous locations such as bathtub
enclosures as defined by the CPSC. The tempered glass
has been tested and certified to the requirements of ANSI
Z97.1-1984 and CPSC 16 CFR 1202. (Safety Glazing Certi-
fication Council SGCC # 1595 and 1597. Architectural Test-
ing, Inc. Reports 02-31919.01 and 02-31917.01.)
This statement is in compliance with CPSC 16 CFR Sec-
tion 1201.5 “Certification and labeling requirements” which
refers to 15 USC 2063 stating “…Such certificate shall ac-
company the product or shall otherwise be furnished to any
distributor or retailer to whom the product is delivered.”
Some local building codes require the use of tempered glass
with permanent marking in such locations. Glass meeting
this requirement is available from the factory. Please con-
tact your dealer or distributor to order.
