Log Placement
Figure 8
3. Insert the alignment hole of the left twig over
the front log's left pin. Rotate the left twig until it
just touches the edge of the ember bed bracket.
4. Insert the alignment hole of the right twig
over the front log's right pin. Rotate the right
twig until it almost touches front panel glass.
Proper twig placement is critical to prevent soot-
ing. Twigs should be placed in the gaps between
the flame peaks and should be positioned so that
at no time they impinge the flames.
Glowing Ember Placement
Remove the replacement rockwool (Glowing
Embers) from the packaging and tear into
quarter size pieces
(Figure 8).
Spread rockwool (nickel-sized pieces) on and
along the length of the burner screen. Do not
use more than is necessary. To many nickel-
sized pieces on the front burner section will
cause poor combustion.
When properly positioned, the rockwool will
unevenly cover approximately 85% of the burner
screen with no appreciable gaps or openings.
Propane models may exhibit a flame pattern
that may candle or appear stringy. If this is
problematic or persists as the appliance is
continually operated, adjust the air shutter
closed as described in the previous para-
graphs. Operate the appliance for a period of
time as the effect diminishes, ensuring that the
appliance does not develop sooty flames.
When satisfied that the appliance operates
properly, proceed to finish the installation.
Leave the control knob in “ON” position and
turn the remote switch “OFF.” Close the lower
control compartment door.
WARNING: LOGS GET VERY HOT AND
WILL REMAIN HOT UP TO ONE HOUR
AFTER GAS SUPPLY IS TURNED OFF.
HANDLE ONLY WHEN LOGS ARE COOL.
TURN OFF ALL ELECTRICITY TO THE
APPLIANCE BEFORE YOU INSTALL
GRATE AND LOGS.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT
MEANT TO BURN WOOD. ANY ATTEMPT
TO DO SO COULD CAUSE IRREPARABLE
DAMAGE TO YOUR APPLIANCE AND
PROVE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR SAFETY.
WARNING: THE SIZE AND POSITION ON
THE LOG SET WAS ENGINEERED TO GIVE
YOUR APPLIANCE A SAFE, RELIABLE
AND ATTRACTIVE FLAME PATTERN. ANY
ATTEMPT TO USE A DIFFERENT LOG SET
IN THE FIREPLACE WILL VOID THE WAR-
RANTY AND WILL RESULT IN INCOM-
PLETE COMBUSTION, SOOTING, AND
POOR FLAME QUALITY.
Allow the burner to operate for at least 15
minutes. Observe the flame continuously. If it
appears weak or sooty as previously described,
adjust the air shutter by pushing or pulling on
the adjustment rod until the flame appearance
is as desired.
The adjustment rod and associated adjustable
air shutter is patented technology. Flame ad-
justments can be made quickly and accurately
to taste without the need of disassembling the
appliance and waiting for 30 minutes after
each adjustment.

Carefully position the ceramic fiber logs and
twigs over the burner according to the follow-
ing steps while referring to
Figure 7.
1. Set the rear log on the raised bracket at the
rear of the firebox, fitting the slot in the log over
the vertical bracket tab.
2. Position the front log with the pins for the
two side twigs in the up position, and the two
vertical burner tabs recessed into the two
notches at rear of the log. Check for recessing
of brackets into log notches (by touch) to verify
correct log placement.
