6. Place log #6 (left log) onto left pin of front log (#2) and the
smooth surface of rear log (#3) as shown in Figure 49. Make
sure it is seated properly.

(#5) as shown in Figure 49. Make sure it is seated properly.
8. Place lava rock along sides and front of firebox bottom in areas
that are visible only. 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.
9. Pull ember material apart into pieces no larger than a dime.
Place these pieces loosely and sparingly directly onto the
exposed section of the front burner and along space between
burner and grate prongs (see Figure 50). This will create the
glowing ember appearance as flame touches the ember mate-
rial. 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.
10. Close glass door, lock door latches, replace screen and close
louvers (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, steps 5 through

WARNING: The glass door must be securely in place
before running this fireplace. Do not run this fireplace
if glass is missing or broken.

phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
