PLACEMENT OF GLOWING EMBERS (rock wool)

Provided with the log set is a small bag of glowing embers (rock wool) to be placed between logs on the flat metal surface of the burner.

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.

Rock wool should not be placed in the area of the pilot assem- bly.

Replacement of loose material (glowing embers) must be purchased from Empire Comfort Systems, Inc. Application of excess loose material (glowing embers) may adversely affect performance of the heater. WARNING: All previously applied loose material must be removed prior to reapplication.

Refer to Parts List, Page 22 to order loose material (rock wool).
