2- The burner / pan assembly is shipped ready for
right-hand gas connection.
NOTE- If an 18” log set is being installed
with a safety pilot kit, if left-hand gas supply
connection is necessary, or if unit must be
converted for use with propane gas, follow
the steps outlined in the sections which
begin on page 3 and then continue with step
3.
3– Remove the existing cap or gas jet assembly
from the gas stub in your fireplace. Clean the
threads using either a wire brush or steel wool.
Apply Teflon tape or pipe dope to the steel
fitting and attach the provided brass adaptor to
the stub.
4– Place the burner / pan assembly in the
fireplace. The pan should be centered both
front to back and side to side.
IMPORTANT
If this decorative gas log set is to be used in a propane application, complete changeover procedures
as outlined in changeover kit instructions before
continuing.
Burner. Once burner or pilot has been lit, use a soap
solution to check the gas connection before proceeding.
Apply soapy water to each connection and watch for
bubbles. If bubbles are seen, turn off the gas, retighten
the connection, relight the burner or pilot and recheck
for tightness. DO NOT use a lighted match or other
source of ignition to check for leaks. Repeat this procedure until you are sure that there are not leaks in the
gas connections.
IMPORTANT
If your system includes a safety pilot, cover the pilot
assembly to protect it before installing sand and
embers.
WARNING
Provided sand must not be used in propane gas applications. Vermiculite mixture provided with propane changeover kit must be used in place of sand.
5- Bend the provided gas connector to facilitate its
installation between the burner and the gas
stub. BE CAREFUL! The connector is easily
kinked if it is bent too sharply.
Attach one end of the gas connector to the
brass elbow or safety pilot fitting. Attach the
other end to the brass adaptor at the gas stub.
NOTE– Brass-to-Brass connections do not
require pipe dope or Teflon tape to ensure
tightness. Follow the procedures outlined in the
operation section on page 5 to light the pilot or
6- Pour the provided sand (Natural Gas) or Vermiculite
(Propane Gas) into the burner pan. The sand should
follow the slope of the 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. Tear
or cut the ember material into smaller pieced to make it
look more realistic and spread the ember material
evenly over the sand (or vermiculite).
REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COVERING FROM THE
SAFETY PILOT ASSEMBLY.

WARNING
The sand/ember mixture can be stacked up to the
bottom of the grate in natural gas applications; however, this is not the case in propane applications.
The Vermiculite/ember combination should not be
stacked more than 1/2” above the height of the
burner pan in propane applications. Again, the sand
provided with the hearth kit is NOT to be used in
propane applications. The Vermiculite provided
with the gas changeover kit must be used instead.
7– Center the grate over the burner pan and set it in
place as shown in figure 3. The burner pan should be
centered left-to-right between the front legs and the
grate. The front legs of the grate should be even with
front edge of the burner pan.
8- Install the two grate steps on the back of the grate as
shown in figure 3.
11– Arrange the top logs on top of the base logs. This
arrangement is left up to personal preference entirely.
You may have to repeat this exercise several times before deciding on your personal favorite. Refer to figure
4.
12– Spread the black cinder material evenly around the
edge of the pan on the floor of the fireplace. If possible
use the cinder material to cover the aluminum gas connector. Again, DO NOT cover any part of the safety
pilot assembly.
FIGURE 3
9- Carefully remove the two base logs from the box.
Place the longer of the two base logs in the front of the
grate. The shorter base log should be placed across
the elevated grate steps.
10– Light the burner as outlined in the operation section.
Allow the flame pattern to stabilize. You may have to
adjust the grate placement to achieve the desired flame
patter around the logs. If you move the burner/pan assembly, be careful not to disturb the gas connections.
When you are satisfied with the flame pattern, shut off
the gas and continue with the next step.
