FINAL INSTALLATION

ROCK WOOL PLACEMENT

1.Place rock wool on burner to provide glowing embers. For best results, pull the rock wool apart into pieces the size of a dime or smaller.

2.Distribute one layer of rock wool to cover the burner. See Figure 40.

3.Place the logs on the burner. See Log Placement below. Light unit and after 15 minutes, check burner flame and glow. See Burner Flame, page 38.

If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit and let cool. After unit cools, remove logs. If the back holes are clear, add more rock wool to the center of the burner. Replace logs and check flame again. Save left over rock wool to refresh when cleaning later. Too much rock wool can disturb the flame and cause sooting on the glass or logs.
