Placing Lava rock in Front of Burner on Fireplace
Floor
Spread lava rocks on fireplace floor in front of the burner pan.
The lava rocks are for decorative effect and are not required
for fireplace operation.
ATTeNTION: DO NOT PLACE LAVA ROCKS ON
BURNER, LOGS OR ROCK WOOL. THE LAVA ROCKS
SHOULD ONLY BE PLACED ON THE FIREPLACE
FLOOR.
Flames from the pilot (rear right back side of the pan burner)
as well as the main flame should be visually checked as the
log set is installed.
In normal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the
flame appearance should be sets of yellow flames.
Notice: All flames will be random by design, flame height will
go up and down.
Glowing embers (rock wool) can cover the pan burner in
between the front and middle logs, but very little is necessary
to cover this area. Excess ember material causes the yellow
flame to become orange and stringy. Apply just enough to
obtain slow glow and a gold yellow flame.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place a
blower inside the burner area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting and improper
burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain oils,
films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful,
but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are
burned off during the initial operation of the appliance,
possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is
a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the
burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation
by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any
odors remaining after this initial break-in will be slight and
will disappear with continued use.

Placement of the glowing embers (rock wool) is very indi-
vidual and light coverage will provide your best effects. We
recommend separation of the rock wool by hand and make
your coverage as light and fluffy as possible.
Place just enough embers on the burner to obtain the glow
and a gold, yellow flame.
Do not place embers (rock wool) over large ports in rear
portion of burner.
Rock wool should not be placed in the area of the pilot as-
sembly.
Replacement of loose material (glowing embers) must be
purchased from Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. Application
of excess loose material (glowing embers) may adversely
affect performance of the heater.
wArNING: All previously applied loose material must be
removed prior to reapplication.
