ROCK WOOL PLACEMENT
1. Place rock wool on burner to provide glowing
embers. For best results, pull the rock wool apart
into pieces the size of a dime or smaller.
2. Distribute one layer of rock wool to cover the burner.
See Figure 40.
3. Place the logs on the burner. See Log Placement
below. Light unit and after 15 minutes, check burner
flame and glow. See Burner Flame, page 38.
If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit
and let cool. After unit cools, remove logs. If the back
holes are clear, add more rock wool to the center of the
burner. Replace logs and check flame again. Save left
over rock wool to refresh when cleaning later. Too much
rock wool can disturb the flame and cause sooting on
the glass or logs.
Do not sprinkle the lava rock or ember
chunks on top of the burner. This may
cause potential sooting, glass breakage
and a re hazard.
