PARTS IDENTIFICATION DIAGRAMS
Open the box and, very gently and carefully, pull out the three foam packages and lay on the floor.
Use a utility knife to cut tape strips that secure foam package tops to foam package bottoms. Lift off foam package top very slowly
and carefully. If you find that the foam package upside down, reverse it before attempting to separate the top and bottom foam trays.
It is of the utmost importance that you treat every package and every twig piece and assembly like you would an egg. Breakage is your
responsibility and is not covered by a Warranty Policy.
The diagrams, below, show all the parts included with this Twig Set. Right Side Twig Assembly has brown colored bark on the bottom
right corner and Left Side Assembly has brown colored bark on the bottom left corner.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Caution: The log pieces are fragile. Exercise extreme care when opening the log set package
and removing individual log pieces.
Introduction:
The ML-47 Twig Log Set is designed and created to replicate a natural burnt twig pile. The colors selected
include black shades, grey shades, brown shades and red shades.
Optional Base Media: The twig set includes a bag of “super black” coals. You may, however, pair the twig set
with the Natural Rock Kit, White Marble Rock Kit or other glass media. It is up to the homeowner to select the
desired cosmetic effect. Coals are included with the twig set but other Base Media Kit(s) are not included with
the Twig Log Set and must be purchased separately.
Note: In these instructions, the standard coal media is shown. The same installation procedures apply to other
base media types selected.
HINT: The flame appearance shapes and flame color quality change dramatically with the amount of base media
placed on top of the burner and media placed over the combustion air slots behind the burner and in front of the
burner. Flame appearance is always better if sparse media is used.
Burner Top Color: To provide for extended burner lifetime, the burner top material is selected to be 304
Stainless Steel. High temperature powder paint or liquid spray paint do not adhere to 304 Stainless Steel readily.
For this reason, the burner top is left bare and unpainted. If you wish, you may use Stove Bright High
Temperature Spray Paint to touch up the burner top, while understanding that the paint may only temporarily
remain on the burner. This is strictly a cosmetic option that you may use.
Sooting Potential on Log Pieces: Soot can form on log pieces if the yellow color zone of the burner flame
impinges directly underneath twig pieces. The three main twig assemblies must remain flat on the burner top.
Raising the twig assembly upward and away from the burner surface will result in some twigs of the assembly
sitting in the yellow zone of the burner flames and may result in soot deposits in those areas.

6. Place Individual Twig Pieces #1, 2 & 3, as shown below.
a) Twig #1 sits on the flat floor in front of the front end of Middle Assembly.
b) Twig #2 sits on top of flat floor at its left end and on top of Middle Assembly at its right end.
c) Twig #3 sits on top flat floor at its right end and on top of Middle Assembly at its left end.
7. Spread Coals in the open areas loosely and in one single layer on top of the burner in the middle open
area between the two twig assemblies and also a few pieces on other areas of the burner under the twig
assemblies. Avoid packing coals tightly.
8. You may brush inswool over twig pieces and coals for a dramatic glow effect. Use inswool liberally.
Use a stiff nylon bristle cleaning brush; pinch a bundle of inswool in a tight ball in one hand and brush
across top of inswool ball to break off inswool fibers over the burner areas, twig pieces and coals.
LP Specific Hints:
1. Make certain burner air shutter is fully open.
2. If soot deposits on the Twig Piece, place coals on large burner ports that are located directly below the
sooting spots.
