GLOWING EMBERS, AND LOGS
NOTE: Turn off all electricity to the appliance
before you install volcanic stone, embers and
logs.
1. Remove the front glass enclosure panel
(see Removing Glass Enclosure Panels on
Page 31).
2. Locate log set, embers and volcanic stone.
Handle logs carefully to prevent breakage.
3. Install decorative volcanic stone - Sprinkle
the decorative volcanic stone in a pleasing
pattern (see Figure 45). The volcanic stone
should be placed directly on top of the firebox
bottom, along the slope and to the back at the
right and left sides of the burner. Position any
ceramic fiber liners before placing the stone.
Logs can be positioned after the volcanic stone.

Volcanic Stone
4. Placement of Glowing Embers -
Separate the Embers (rockwool) into pieces
about the size of a quarter (see Figure 46).
Keep the pieces fluffed up, not matted. Dis-
tribute these pieces over the surface of the
burner, as shown in Figures 47 and 48. Do
not use more than is necessary. Ensure that
the main burner slots remain uncovered by
the ember material. Position the embers on
the small holes of the ember bed area.
Note: This appliance is provided with enough
Glowing Embers for several applications, do
not use all that is in a new bag at one time.
For best glowing effect, replace the ember
material annually.
5. Placement of Logs -
The logs have locating notches or slots to
help ensure that they are properly positioned.
The top logs that rest on lower logs, do so
over notches, indents or nubs. Proper log
placement is critical to prevent sooting. Logs
should be placed in the gaps between the flame
peaks and should be positioned so they do not
impinge the flames. Follow the log placement
instructions, exactly.
