STEP 13 - Placing the Lava Rock, Vermiculite and
Rock Wool
Spread the lava rock over the area in front of the
burner and the two side pans. Do not cover the front
gas ports with the lava rock. See Figure 29.
Take a small amount of vermiculite and sprinkle it on
top of the lava rock. Do not cover the front gas ports
with the vermiculite. See Figure 29.
Break the rock wool into pieces, no bigger than 1/2"
diameter, and place them close to the front gas ports
so that the flame can touch the rock wool. This cre-
ates the glowing ember look. Be sure not to pack the
rock wool against the gas ports. See Figure 30.
When the unit is lit and the front gas ports will not
light, make sure that the ports are not block by lava
rock or vermiculite.
WARNING!
NEVER OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH
THE GLASS REMOVED OR NOT SEALED.
STEP 16 - Screen Replacement
Position the screen over the glass, align the screw
holes located in each upper corner of the panel with
the holes in the fireplace and screw into place.
STEP 17 - Replacing the Panels
Simply replace each panel by positioning the notch-
es, located on each end of the panel, in place over
the pins on either side of the panel opening and
press downward. The panel should snap into place
easily. See Figure 32.
Note: The placement of the logs, lava rock, vermi-
culite and rock wool is very critical to the appear-
ance of the fireplace looks during its operation.
Please take time during this portion of the setup
to achieve the best appearance.
STEP 14 - Glass Replacement
After arranging the log set in the unit, replace the
fixed pane of glass. Be sure the rubber gasket mate-
rial is on the top and bottom edges of the glass.
Carefully lower the glass into the lower track of the
unit (black trim facing outward) and center it in the
track. Next, place the metal retaining strip along the
upper edge of the glass and align the screw holes
with holes in the fireplace. Secure the glass into
place with the provided screws. See Figure 31.
