3. Place the back log onto the grate steps
(see Figure 19).
4. Place the front log(s) onto grate and slide
forward against the front bars of grate (see
Figure 19).
5. Place the smaller top logs onto the bottom
logs (see Figure 20, page 13). Leave as
much open space between logs as pos-
sible to minimize ame impingement and
sooting.
Note: Logs may chip if they are handled
roughly or if hit together while being
placed.

2. Light the burner with the shutoff valve no
more than half open and holding a match
slightly in front of the pan (see Lighting
Instructions, page 13).
3. Inspect all connections for bubbles,
raw gas odor, or ame from any area
other than the burner (leaks). If leaks are
detected, shut off the gas valve immedi-
ately. Tighten, or reassemble the loose
connection(s) using pipe joint compound
until burner system is leak free.
4. When the burner is tested and leak free,
observe the individual tongues of ame
on the burner.
Note: The burner design includes more
ports on the outside of the bar. Make
sure that all ports are clear and produc-
ing ame evenly across the burner. If
any ports appear blocked, clear them by
removing the burner manifold and ream-
ing the ports with a modied paper clip or
other suitable tool.
5. When nished testing, turn the gas shut-
off valve OFF to extinguish all ames.
ADDING PAN MATERIAL
1. Open the bag of ash bed material (ver-
miculite) and spread it evenly across the
burner pan to the top. You may overow
the front and sides of the pan to cover the
entire pan and connecting hardware. Do
not cover GA9050A-1 or GA9150A valve.
2. Open the glowing embers and evenly
cover the ash bed material (vermiculite)
in the burner pan.
INSTALLING GRATE AND LOGS
1. Place the grate over the burner pan where
the two outer horizontal supports on the
grate t into the two pan positioning notches
in the rear vertical edge of the pan.
2. Slide the two rear log grate steps over the
two outer horizontal supports on the grate
as shown in Figure 18.
