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 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 embers (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 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.
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 20 to order loose material (rock wool).
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 (rock wool) 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.

The initial
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed position. This can lead to pilot outages and severe sooting outside the fireplace.
