Placing the Lava Rock

See Section 14F for Lava Rock placement instructions.

•Place lava rock on base pan. Do NOT place on burner top.

Placing the Ember Material

Ember material is shipped with this gas appliance. To place the ember material:

•Embers CANNOT be placed directly over ports. See Figure 14.4 for the only exception to this guideline. Care should be taken not to cover the lighting trail of ports (from back to front).

•When placing Glowing Embers® onto the burner care should be taken so that the ports are not covered. Place the dime-size ember pieces near the port holes in the burner top (see Figure 14.3). Failure to follow this pro- cedure will likely cause lighting and sooting problems.

•Some of the small port holes should be covered with ember material. See Figure 14.4 for detail.

•Save the remaining ember materials for use during appli- ance servicing. The embers provided should be enough for 3 to 5 applications.
