PLACEMENT OF GLOWING EMBERS AND LAVA ROCK
Placement of the glowing embers (rockwool) is very individual and light coverage will provide your best effects. We recommend separation of the rockwool by hand and make your coverage as light and fluffy as possible.
Place just enough rockwool on the burner to obtain the glow and a gold, yellow flame.
Do not place rockwool over large ports in rear portion of burner. Rockwool should not be placed in the area of the pilot assembly.
Application of excess rockwool may adversely affect performance of the heater.
WARNING: All previously applied rockwool must be removed prior to reapplication.
Over time, the rockwool will break down and new rockwool will need to be placed to recreate the original glowing embers effect. Remove all old rockwool from the appliance and apply new rock as described in this section or the log manual.
Note: Only the rockwool supplied with this unit or ordered in accordance with the Parts List on page 20 should be used on this burner. See the Parts List on page 20 to order replacement rockwool.
Placing Lava Rock in Front of Burner on Fireplace Floor
Spread lava rocks on fireplace floor in front and sides of the burner pan. The lava rocks are for decorative effect and are not required for fireplace operation.
Attention: Do not place lava rocks on Burn- er, logs or rockwool. The lava rocks should only be placed on the fireplace floor.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS/FLAME APPEARANCE
Flames from the pilot (rear right back side of the pan burner) as well as the main flame should be visually checked as the log set is installed.
In normal operation at full rate after 10 to 15 minutes, the flame appearance should be sets of yellow flames.
NOTE: All flames will be random by design, flame height will go up and down.
Glowing embers (rockwool) can cover the pan burner in between the front and middle logs, but very little is necessary to cover this area. Excess ember material causes the yellow flame to become orange and stringy. Apply just enough to obtain slow glow and a gold yellow flame.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place a blower inside the burner area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
