B. Install the Burner/Pan Assembly

B. Install the Burner/Pan Assembly

The burner/pan assembly is shipped ready for right-hand gas connection. See Section 3.B. for left-hand connection.

Remove the existing cap or gas jet assembly from the gas stub in your fireplace. Clean the threads using a wire brush or steel wool. Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the steel fitting and attach the provided brass adapter to the stub.

Place the burner/pan assembly in the fireplace. The pan should be centered both front to back and side to side.

Bend the provided gas connector to facilitate its installation between the burner and the gas stub.

Attach one end of the gas connector to the brass elbow or safety pilot fitting. Attach the other end to the brass adapter at the gas tube.

C. Grate

The grate, supplied with the firebox will be centered within the firebox. Refer to Figure 4.2.

D. Place Sand and Rockwool

Pour the sand into the burner pan. Sand should follow the slope of pan, covering it and the burner tube completely.

Allow the sand to spill out the front of the pan and over the sides onto the fireplace floor.

Lightly place dime-sized pieces of rockwool evenly on top of the sand.

The gas burns at the point of the least resistance. In case of an uneven flame pattern it may be necessary to adjust the materials in the pans (using an object such as a long screwdriver) to achieve the desired effect.

C. Grate WARNING

Explosion Risk

Follow rockwool placement instructions in this manual.

Replace rockwool material annually.

Improperly placed rockwool interferes with proper burner operation.

Note: For best results, do not pack down the rock wool. The placement of rock wool can have an effect on flame pattern and may need to be adjusted to achieve a desired appearance.
