INSTALLING LAVA ROCK AND
GLOWING EMBERS
It is very important to keep logs exactly as
installed. Do not modify logs. Only use log set
designed for this fireplace.
WARNING: Logs are unitized
and not attached to the burner.
Do not handle log assembly by
top logs. Always pick up by the
bottom.
Open louvers, remove screen, unlock door latches
and open glass door. See Removing Glass Door,
steps 1 and 2, page 25.
1. Pull ember material apart into pieces no larger
than a dime. Place these pieces loosely and spar-
ingly directly onto the exposed front section of
the burner (see Figure 43). This will create
the glowing ember appearance as the flame
touches the ember material. Do not block air
slots by using too much ember material in one
area. It is not necessary to use all of the ember
material provided.
2. Pour lava rock onto plenum but not onto flat
burner. It is not necessary to use all of the lava
rock provided.
NOTICE: Do not put lava rock on
burner or under burner. Placing
lava rock on burner will cause
performance problems.
3. Close glass door, lock door latches, replace
screen and close louvers (see Removing Glass
Door, steps 5 through 7).
