Placing the Ember Material

Ember material is shipped with this gas fireplace. The bag labeled Glowing Ember (050-721) is standard glowing ember material. To place the ember material:

Pull the four glass latches out of the groove on the glass frame. Remove glass door from the unit (see Figure 39).

Place dime size pieces of Glowing Ember (050-721) ember material about 1/2 inch apart near port holes in burner top. Do NOT press embers into burner ports. Cover the top of the burner with a single layer of ember mate- rial. For best performance do NOT place embers on the ports at the rear of the burner.

Save the remaining ember materials for use during fire- place servicing.

Replace the glass door and a front trim door on the unit.

Pull out and latch the glass clips into the groove on the glass frame.

Step 11. Before Lighting the Fireplace

Before lighting the fireplace, be sure to do the following:

Remove all paperwork from underneath the fireplace. Review safety warnings and cautions

Read the Safety and Warning Information section at the beginning of this Installers Guide.

Double-check for gas leaks

Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible gas leaks.

Double-check vent terminations and front grilles for obstructions.

Before lighting the fireplace, double-check the unit for possible obstructions that could be blocking the vent ter- minations or the front grilles.

Double-check for faulty components

Any component that is found to be faulty MUST BE re- placed with an approved component. ampering with the fireplace components is DANGEROUS and voids all war- ranties.

A small amount of air will be in the gas supply lines. When first lighting the fireplace, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete, the fireplace will light and will operate normally.

Subsequent lightings of the fireplace will not require this purging of air from the gas supply lines, unless the gas valve has been turned to the OFF position, in which case the air would have to be purged.

NOTE: The fireplace should be run for 8 hours on the initial start-up. This will help to cure the chemicals used in the paint and logs.

Step 12. Lighting the Fireplace

You’ve reviewed all safety warnings, you’ve checked the fireplace for gas leaks, you know the vent system is unobstructed, and you’ve checked for faulty components. Now you’re ready to light the fireplace.
