H. Inspect the Appliance and Components

• Remove the contents from the carton labeled “Burner”. Attached to the burner are tags identifying the manufacturer name, serial number, model number (including gas log size), BTU ratings, gas type, etc.

• Review the attached tags before proceeding. Ensure that all minimum fireplace dimension requirements are achieved using Table 3. See Figure 1. Ensure the gas type provided in the fireplace coincide with the gas type marked on the tag.

Figure 1 Measure Firebox

Figure 4 Placing Vermiculite

.Pour vermiculite over the sand in the pans until they are full. See Figure 4.

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.

• The burner is assembled with the controls installed at the factory and is designed to connect one end of the 3/8 in. supply line before placing inside the fireplace. Ensure the connection is tightened using a 3/4 in. wrench.

• Place the burner towards the rear and center of the fireplace and connect to the gas line. Follow instructions in “F. Gas Pressure” to check for gas leaks.

I. For Natural Gas Installation

• Pour sand into the burner pans to the point where the burner pipe is covered. See Figure 3. Level the sand from right to left to ensure an even flame pattern. At this point the pan should be half full.

Figure 3 Sand

Figure 5 Placing Rock Wool

• Lightly place dime-size pieces of rock wool evenly on top of the sand and vermiculite to achieve a glowing ember effect. See Figure 5.

• Remove the Platinum Bright Embers™ from the package. For optimum performance peel each piece apart in layers and lightly place on top of the vermiculite and rock wool where the flame is blue. This will achieve the desired realism.

• 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 screwdriver) to achieve the desired effect.

• Place desired amount of lava granules on the floor of the fireplace. DO NOT ALLOW THE GRANULES TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE FLAMES. (Lava granules may contain moisture which, when heating, may cause it to pop out during installation and set-up.) Ensure the controls and switches are unobstructed after the granules are installed.

• Place logs. See Sections L Thru S.

• Place accent logs around burner on floor of fireplace.

Fire Risk Explosion Risk Personal Injury Risk

Failure to position the parts in accordance with the diagrams provided with the log pa ckages or fail ure to use only part s approved with this appliance may result in

A spillage test must be made before the installed appliance is left with the consumer.

• Close all doors and windows in the home.

• Light the log set (see Lighting Instructions).

• After three minutes, test with a smoke match, smoke candle, stick incense or cigarette 1 in. below the top of the opening (lintel) moving across the full width. If spillage (smoke down into the room) occurs, it will most likely be near the top, outside corners.

J. Damper Stop Installation Instructions

Included in the burner assembly box is a damper stop clamp which attaches to the damper as shown (Figure 6). Install the clamp to the damper ensuring that the minimum requirements (Tables 1 and 2) are achieved. Use a 7/16 in. wrench to secure the clamp to the damper. If the damper clamp provided does not fit your application, other means of securing the proper opening must be provided by the installer.

K. Inspect the Venting System

The fireplace venting system is designed and constructed to develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the outside atmosphere. See fireplace installation instructions.

Possible cures if spilling occurs:

• The damper needs to be opened further.

• The fireplace opening needs to be reduced by adding a drop panel across the top under the lintel.

• The air supply from outdoors needs to be increased. Open the outside air kit if the appliance is so equipped, or crack open a door or window.

• If necessary, seek expert advice. Do not operate this appliance.
