Fireplace Installation

Continued

6.Rest log #8 (left crossover log) onto log #3 and rest log #9 (right crossover log) onto logs #4 and #5 as shown in Figure 47.

7.Pull ember material apart into pieces no larger than a dime. Place these pieces loosely and sparingly directly onto the exposed front section of the burner (see Figure 48). This will create the glowing ember appearance as the flame touches the ember material. Do not block air slots by using too much ember material in one area. It is not necessary to use all of the ember material provided.

NOTICE: Do not put lava rock on burner or under burner. Placing lava rock on burner will cause performance problems.

8.Close glass door, lock door latches, replace screen, and close louvers (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, steps 5 through 7 on page 19).

WARNING: The glass door must be securely in place before running this fireplace. Do not run this fireplace if glass is missing or broken.
