CERAMIC BURNER
Your stove is equipped with a 100% ceramic fiber gas burner. Nestor Martin's ceramic burner offers
numerous technical and esthetic advantages:
- Flames and glowing effect similar to a real wood fire
-Highly resistant to leaks, corrosion and deformation over time
-The elasticity of its gel foam ceramic fibers allow the burner to retain its heat resistant properties
without deforming, withstanding even the most extreme temperature variations.
-Increased radiant heat through the glass, while greatly decreasing radiant heat on the valve, receiver
and battery, resulting in longer life for each of the stove’s electronic components.
The burner has several positioning points and notches to help you place the ceramic logs correctly.
Ceramic burner
CONTENTS OF THE LOG KIT
The kit is composed of three ceramic logs and a sack of ceramic lava rocks. Because they are fragile, the
logs are packaged separately to avoid damage during transport. Using logs other than those supplied by
the manufacturer is prohibited, as it may interfere with the proper functioning of the appliance.

FH35##9710A
PLACEMENT OF THE EMBER GLOW FIBERS (OPTIONAL)
A bag of platinum ember glow fibers is supplied is supplied with the ceramic burner kit. When heated, the
embers glow and flicker, similar to real glowing ash. The embers must be placed correctly in order to
function properly. The pack contains more embers than required. The remaining embers hould be kept for
further service requirements.
Platinum ember glow fibers are made from high-grade ceramic wool. The wool is similar to fiberglass and
should be handled carefully. We recommend the use of a suitable dust mask, gloves or tweezers when
handling the embers. Wash hands immediately after touching to avoid irritation. Store the fibers in a dry
place, away from any flammable liquids.
Before placing, tease out the fabric to form loose, irregular shapes using a tweezers.
The correct placement of the embers is extremely important, as the effect produced can only occur when
they are heated by the gas jets or by direct radiated heat. Do not force the embers into the burner holes, as
to not block them up.
By rubbing the embers into the faces of the logs which are heated by the gas jets, the fibers which adhere to
the logs will glow. With suitable gloves, gently rub a square of fibers into the areas of the logs which glow
when hot.

CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY LINE
WARNING: Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this
appliance.
The gas line connection may be made using 3/8 " rigid tubing or an approved flex connector. When using
copper or flex connectors, use only fittings approved for gas connections. The gas control inlet is ⅜" NPT.
Upon connection, mark the appropriate fuel type on the CSA rating label.
There must be a gas shutoff between the stove and the supply.
Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult your local authorities and
the CAN/CGA-B149.1 Installation Code. For USA gas installations follow either local codes or the current
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1.
Test to confirm manifold pressures as shown in the table on page 3.
The stove and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
The stove must be isolated from the gas piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

MAINTENANCE
Before conducting any maintenance on the stove, always make sure that the stove is switched off and has
had time to cool.
•VENTING SYSTEM
The venting system should be examined annually by a qualified technician. Both the inner exhaust pipe
and the outer combustion supply pipe must be checked to confirm that they are unblocked and in good
condition.
•CLEANING OF GLASS
Do not clean glass when hot.
It will be necessary to clean the ceramic glass periodically. During a cold start up condensation will
sometimes form on the glass, this is a normal condition with all glass fireplaces and stoves. However
sometimes this condensation can allow dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Also, sometimes initial
paint curing of the appliance can leave behind a slight film on the glass. This is a temporary problem. It
is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned initially after about the first two weeks of use.
After that, depending upon the amount of use, cleaning should be required no more than two or three
times per season. To clean the door, use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners will
damage the glass surface.
•PILOT, BURNER AND FIREBOX
Periodically check the pilot and burner flames visually.
Remove the log set carefully from the combustion chamber.
Vacuum the burner compartment thoroughly.
Vacuum any dust on the logs and remove any lint form the main burner and pilot burner.
After carefully replacing the logs in their correct positions, and the door has been released, relight the
pilot, following the instructions on the attached label. And turn in the main burner.
