ROCK WOOL PLACEMENT
1. Place rock wool on burner to provide glowing
embers. For best results, pull the rock wool apart
into pieces the size of a nickel or smaller.
2. Distribute one layer of rock wool to cover the entire
burner. See Figure 45.
3. Place the logs on the burner. See Log Placement
below. Light unit and after 15 minutes, check burner
flame and glow. See Burner Flame, page 39.
If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit
and let cool. After unit cools, remove logs. If the back
holes are clear, add more rock wool to the center of the
burner. Replace logs and check flame again. Save left
over rock wool to refresh when cleaning later. Too much
rock wool can disturb the flame and cause sooting on
the glass or logs.

WARNING
Do not use the entire bag of rock wool
to cover the burner. This could cause
the flame to burn poorly and may lead
to sooting.
WARNING
Do not sprinkle the lava rock or ember
chunks on top of the burner. This may
cause potential sooting, glass breakage
and a fire hazard.
