Placement of the glowing embers (rock wool) is very individual and light coverage of the areas indicated will provide your best effects. We recommend separation of the rock wool by hand and make your coverage as light and fluffy as possible.
Place just enough rock wool on the burner to obtain the glow and a gold yellow flame.
Do not place rock wool over large ports in rear portion of burner.
A thin layer of glowing embers (rock wool) should be placed under open space between the right and left middle logs.
Rock wool should not be placed in the area of the pilot assembly.
Placing Lava (Decorative) Rock in Front of Grate and Burner Pan on Fireplace Floor
Spread lava rocks on fireplace floor in front of grate. The rocks are for decorative effect and are not required for fireplace operation.
ATTENTION: DO NOT PLACE LAVA ROCKS ON LOGS, BRANCHES OR ROCK WOOL. THE LAVA ROCKS SHOULD ONLY BE PLACED ON THE FIREPLACE FLOOR.
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: Flames will be random by design, flame height will go up and down.
Glowing embers (rock wool) can cover the pan burner in between the front and middle logs, but very little is necessary to cover this area. Excess rock wool material causes the yellow flame to be- come orange and stringy. Apply just enough to obtain slow glow and a bright yellow flame.
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.
The initial
STANDING PILOT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The standing pilot (750 millivolt system) is a continuous burning pilot. The pilot remains ON even when the main burner is OFF.
750 Millivolt System (Figures 48 and 49)
When you ignite the pilot, the thermocouple produces millivolts (electrical current) which energizes the magnet in the gas valve. After 30 seconds to 1 minute time period you can release the gas control knob and the pilot will stay ON. Allow your pilot flame to operate an additional one (1) to two (2) minutes before you turn the gas control knob from the PILOT position to the ON position. This time period allows the millivolts (electrical current) to build- up to a sufficient level allowing the gas control to operate properly.
1.Follow the SAFETY and LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS for standing pilot controls found in this manual and on labels found in control compartment behind the door assembly.
CAUTION: During the initial purging and subsequent lightings, never allow the gas valve control knob to remain depressed in the "pilot" position without pushing the red ignitor button at least once every second.
2.During the heating season, leave the control valve knob in the "ON" position. This will allow the pilot flame to remain lit. Turn the burner flame on or off with the fireplace ON/OFF rocker switch, wall switch, remote control kit or 750 millivolt wall thermostat.
NOTE: The gas control valve allows you to increase or decrease the height of the main burner flame. The control valve has a pressure regulator with a knob as shown in Figure 48. Rotate the knob clockwise to "HI" to increase the flame height and counterclockwise to "LO" to decrease the flame height.
3.When the heating season is over, turn the on/off switch to "OFF" and the control valve to "OFF". The system, including the pilot light, will be shut down.

The OWNER should carefully read and follow these operating instructions at all times. Lower the door assembly to view the gas controls for the fireplace. Your model has a push button piezo ignitor, the fireplace has a STANDING PILOT IGNITION SYSTEM. Follow the Lighting Instructions applicable to your fireplace.
