GBI25 SERIES B-VENT GAS FIRED FIREPLACE INSERT

d.Rock Wool Placement

The log set is shipped in place. Tear the rock wool into pieces no larger than 1/2” diameter. Place the rock wool in front of the flange located in the middle of the burner. Do not place the rock wool behind or above the 3/8” flange. This will block the air slot and cause carbon desposits on the log. Place the rock wool on both the left and right sides to complete the burning ember look. It is not necessary to use the entire bag. See Figure 17.

Figure 17 - Rock Wool Placement

Note: Placement of the rock wool should be done with care and time, as this will create the look of the fire when burning.

e.Glass Frame Installation

1)When cleaning the glass, use only non- caustic, non-abrasive cleaners. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN HOT GLASS. It is dangerous, and the glass is more likely to be stained by the cleaning agent. Stubborn film can often be removed using Brasso® or a non-abrasive cleaner.

2)After cleaning the glass, position the tabs on the glass frame into the slots on the column of the appliance. Hold door in place and secure with screws removed earlier. Be careful not to over-tighten.

f.Brass Trim Cleaning

All prints and smudges must be wiped clean from the brass trim prior to initial burn. If this is not done, these prints will be cured into the brass finish and set for the life of the appliance. To keep the finish looking its best, gently wipe with a soft cloth after the appliance has had ample time to cool down. If desired, use a non-abrasive cleaner such as soap and water. Never use any solvent, thinner or abrasive cleaner since these will damage the finish.

g.Valve Access

The valve is located behind the control access panel. Lift the panel up and rotate forward. See Figure 18. This will expose the gas valve, variable regulator and fan control, as shown in Figure 19.
