Installing Log
1. Lift screen up and pull out to remove.
2. Cut two plastic straps to remove the log
from the firebox cavity.
3. An optional blower is available. See Ac-
cessories, pages 28 and 29. Install op-
tional blower now. Follow installation
instructions provided with blower.
4. Remove log packaging material and
discard packaging. Gently place log set
on burner support (see Figure 3). The
log should fit flat against top of burner
support and log locators fit into the slots
under the log. Do not allow log to con-
tact flame. If flame contacts log, soot
will be created.

in the screen frame over the shoulder
screws and pushing down.

the parts in accordance with these
diagrams or failure to use only
