Placing the Ember Material

Release the four glass latches on the glass frame. Re- move glass door from the unit.

Glowing Ember material can be placed without remov- ing logs. Place a single layer of dime size and thickness pieces on exposed area of burner front and burner center. Starting in front of two center logs place one row at a time, completely surrounding all ports in front of middle logs including those that extend under front logs. DO NOT press ember material down into ports or place more than a single layer on burner. Do not place embers on or near ports behind front logs.

CAUTION: DO NOT COVER BURNER PORTS WITH EMBER MATERIAL.

Save the remaining ember materials for use during fireplace servicing.

Replace the glass door.

Pull out and latch the glass clips into the glass frame.

Install a decorative front.

Step 11. Before Lighting the Fireplace

Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:

Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace.

Check that log retaining rubber bands have been removed!

Review safety warnings and cautions

Read the Safety and Warning Information section at the beginning of this Owner’s Manual.

Double-check for gas leaks

Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible gas leaks.

Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for obstructions.

Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent terminations or the front grilles.

Double-check for faulty components

Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE replaced with an approved component. Tampering with the fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties.

A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.

Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which case the air would have to be purged.

NOTE: The fireplace should be run 3 to 4 hours on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for an additional 8 hours. This will help to cure the product used in the paint and logs.

During this break-in period it is recommended that some windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any odors associated with the fireplace’s initial burning.

Step 12. Lighting the Appliance

You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the appliance for gas leaks, you know the vent system is unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components. Now you’re ready to light the appliance.
