• 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 ame is blue. This will achieve the desired
realism.
• The gas burns at the point of the least resistance. In
case of an uneven ame 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 oor of the
replace. 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 oor of replace.

K. Inspect the Venting System
The replace venting system is designed and constructed to
develop a positive ow adequate to remove ue gases to the
outside atmosphere. See replace installation instructions.
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.
Possible cures if spilling occurs:
• The damper needs to be opened further.
• The replace 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.
Cleaning
• Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system
of the replace should be done before initial use and at
least annually by a qualied agency.
