Heat & Glo Fireplace GEM42 - Manual (Page 27)

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.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,
NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/
OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.
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.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When
overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the
bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door removed.
Positioning the Logs
If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not
need to be positioned. If 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.

Step 11. Installing Trim, Logs,
and Ember Material
Placing the Ember Material
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. To place
the ember material:
• Pull the four glass latches out of the groove on the glass
frame. Remove glass door from the unit (see Figure 33).
• Embers CANNOT be placed directly over ports. Care
should be taken not to cover the lighting trail of ports
(from back to front).
• Place dime size pieces of mineral wool embers 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. For best perfor-
mance do NOT place embers on the ports at the rear of
the burner (Figure 33). Failure to follow this procedure
will likely cause lighting and sooting problems.

Burner Removal
Note the position of the shutter and shutter stop bracket
(Figure 35). This will need to be re-set after replacing the
burner.
Remove the burner from the fireplace as shown in Figure

screws (2) that secure it behind the burner surface. Slide
the adjustable shutter towards the rear of the fireplace
(closed position). Lift the burner up and towards you to
remove.
