No matter what method is used, the finishing material must NEVER pass the 1/2” metal edge around the opening and overhang into the glass opening.
!WARNING: FACING AND/OR FINISHING MA- TERIAL MUST NEVER OVERHANG INTO THE GLASS OPENING.
Step 11. Positioning the Logs,
and Placing the Ember Material
Positioning the Logs
If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged separately, refer to the instructions that accompany the logs. Save the log instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.
Placing the Ember Material
Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. To place the ember material:
•Remove the ash lip that is located in front of the glass.
•Remove the side panels that are located in front of the glass.
•Remove the pull mesh firescreen by unhooking from the fireplace.
•Pull and release the four glass latches (2 per side) lo- cated on the sides of the glass frame.
•Grasping the upper lip with one hand and the lower lip with the other, pull the bottom of the glass out first. Guide the bottom while letting the top drop down under the top of the opening (see Figure 30).

•There are two types of ember shipped with the unit. Plati- num Embers for the burner surface and Mystic Embers for the floor of the unit.
•Do NOT place Platinum Embers between log #3 and log #4. They may disrupt the flames and are not visible.
•Place Mystic Embers on the floor of the unit. Use the Mystic Embers to hide the pilot wires on the left side of the burner.
•Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire- place servicing.
•Replace the glass firescreen and door front trim on the unit.
