Hearth Extensions

A hearth extension may be desirable for aesthetic reasons. However,ANSI or CAN/CGAtesting standards do not require hearth extensions for gas fireplace appliances.

Step 11. Installing Trim, Logs & Ember Material

Installing the Trim

Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace, but MUST NEVER overlap onto the front face. The joints between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides can only be sealed with a 300° F. (149° C) minimum sealant.

Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible materials can be used to cover up the gap between the sheetrock and the fireplace.

Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the controls can be accessed and the trim door and glass door can be removed.

Positioning the Logs

If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not need to be positioned.

If the logs have been packaged separately, refer to the installation instructions that accompany the logs. Save the

log instructions with this manual.

If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.

Placing the Ember Material

Two separate bags of ember material are shipped with this gas fireplace:

•The bag labeled Golden Ember (GE-93) is flame colo- rant material.

•The bag labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard glowing ember material.

To place the ember material:

•Lift the trim door up and out from the unit.

•Remove the wing nuts and screws around the glass door.
