Proper Log Placement
Log placement is critical to proper burner performance. Logs must
be correctly positioned. The photos in this manual show the proper
position for logs in this set. Owners need to be shown proper log
placement and instructed not to move the logs.
Proper Placement of Crushed Glass Media
This replace is designed to use crushed glass media on the burner.
The maximum amount of crushed glass media should not exceed
6 Sq. Ft. Spread out over the entire burner and burner screen. It is
recommended that the crushed glass media be added after the log
has been properly installed.
CAUTION
Do not place crushed glass around the pilot assembly.
Crushed glass is only to be placed on the burner screen
and burner cover.
Make Owners Aware of Proper Log Set Operation
Properly installed and properly maintained log sets should not
deposit soot on the logs. If users see excessive soot appearing
on a log, call for service. Do not continue to operate the replace.

Tools Needed:
• Protective Gloves
All Logs
The positioning of the logs is critical to the safe and clean operation
of this heater. Sooting and other problems may result if the logs are
not properly and rmly positioned in the appliance.
Refer to Figure 1 for the following warning.
WARNING
Failure to position the parts in accordance with this diagram
or failure to use only parts specically approved with this
appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
Attention: Refer to Pages 4 and 5 Parts List and Parts View to
order logs or rocks.
LOG PLACEMENT
NOTICE: Once the installation is complete with the logs, decorative
media in place, operate the replace to verify ame appearance.
If there are ames directly impinging a log, turn off replace, then
remove the media directly below where the ame impingement
occurred. This should eliminate sooting on the log, and provide a
more pleasing ame appearance.

NOTICE: After the Log set is installed, place crushed glass on the burner and burner screen area as directed in the Fireplace installation
instruction manual. If excessive ame impingement occurs on any of the cross Logs (D), (G), and (H), these logs can be rotated left/right
away from the ame to improve performance. In addition, thinning out the glass directly under the cross logs will help to reduce ame
impingement and sooting.

COMPLETING INSTALLATION
Crushed Glass Media
1. Place crushed glass media onto the burner and burner
screen. See the Installation Instructions supplied with the
replace for more information.
NOTICE: Crushed glass should not be placed on the burner
screen area more than one layer deep. Excessive use of crushed
glass may create a greater chance of developing soot on logs.
Do not allow crushed glass to restrict the pilot ame. Do not
place crushed glass in the pilot bracket accessed area.
Decorative Media Kits
1. Place embers covering all burner ports as shown in the area
below.
2. Mix remaining decorative media together as desired and
spread across burner screen. Also ll area between the two
pieces of glass.
Final Steps
1. Re-install the glass door assembly. Test re to ensure there
is minimal contact between the ame and the logs.
2. If the test re is acceptable, re-install the barrier screen/glass
assembly.
3. If during the test ring there seems to be signicant ame
impingement on the cross logs, there are two steps that can
be taken to reduce the impingement:
a. Pivot log left or right to move away from ame.
b. Thin out crushed glass directly under the cross log. This
can reduce the height of the ame directly under the log.
