FINAL INSTALLATION

BBV, SBV Series Natural Vent Gas Fireplaces

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 nickel or dime.

2. Distribute one layer of rock wool to cover the entire burner. Figure 18

3.Place the logs on the burner. Refer to Log Place- ment Section.

If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit and allow to cool. After unit cools, remove logs. If the back holes are clear, add more rock wool to the cen- ter 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.
