Step 11. Installing Trim, Logs, and 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.
!WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE, NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/ OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the bottom grille can be lowered and the trim door 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 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
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. To place the ember material:
•Pull the four glass latches out of the groove on the glass frame. Remove glass door from the unit (see Figure 42).

•Embers CANNOT be placed directly over ports. Care should be taken not to cover the lighting trail of ports (from back to front).
•When placing Glowing embers onto the burner care should be taken so that the ports are not covered. Place the embers along side the port trail, but not on or in between the ports (see Figure 43). Failure to follow this procedure will likely cause lighting and sooting problems.
EMBER MATERIAL |
Figure 43. Placement of the Ember Material |
•Place Mystic embers on areas of base refractory away from port holes. Use this material to give your fireplace a realistic ash bed.
•Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire- place servicing.
•Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit.
•Pull out and latch the glass clips into the groove on the glass frame.
