2.3 BULKHEADS
NOTE: Bulkhead covers need to be removed.
A. Connect the gas flex lines
and the pilot line to the gas
bulkheads located under the
valve access opening. Be sure
to match up the gas manifold
marked with an orange dot
with the center bulkhead, also
marked with an orange dot.
Care must be taken to ensure
the pilot line isn’t damaged and
ensuring gas tight connections
are made.
NOTE: The middle tube is the
primary burner and can not
be turned off. The outside
burner can be turned on and
off with the remote. If this
isn’t the case then switch the flex lines.
B. Connect the pilot electrode leads to the
bulkhead. The leads can only fit one way.
You need to match the 1/4” flag with the 1/4”
bulkhead spade and the 3/16” flag with the
3/16” spade.
C. Ensure the 2 venturi tubes are over
the orifices before lighting. NOTE: It is
recommended at this stage to do an
operational check before finishing
installation.
D. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap
and water solution. Do not use open flame.
E. After leak test has been performed re-install
access panel with gasket. (If removed)

3.2 VENTURI ADJUSTMENT
This appliance has an air shutter that has been factory set open according
to the chart below:
Regardless of venturi orientation, closing the air shutter will cause a more
yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a
more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The
flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the
final flame color to be established.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED

Hearth panels are shipped separate from unit and are included with the burner assembly and the logs. Due to
the brittle material of the panels, care must be taken not to bend or force them into place.
When shipped, the hearth panels range in varying shades of Sandstone. During initial use, the panels will darken
temporarily. The appearance of the panels will permanently lighten in color with use.
INSTALL HEARTH PANELS IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:
NOTE: Burner assembly must be installed first.
A. Side brick panels or porcelain panels must be installed prior to

2.10 GLOWING EMBERS
Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row of ports covering all of the burner area. Care should
be taken to shred the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges of the fibre hairs will
glow. The ember material will only glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care should be taken to not
block the burner ports.
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition. Phazer™
logs glow when exposed to direct flame. Use only certified “glowing embers” and Phazer™ logs available from
your Authorized dealer.
