Step 10. 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. The bag labeled Glowing Ember
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 30).
•Place dime size pieces of ember material about 1/2 inch apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press em- bers into burner ports. Cover the top of the burner with a single layer of ember material. For best performance do NOT place embers on the ports at the rear of the burner.
•Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire- place servicing. The bag of embers provided is sufficient for 3 to 5 applications.
•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.
