Linear 1500 burn media installation: 13570-C | 1
Experience has shown that the majority of performance problems are caused by burn media being
installed incorrectly. Please take the time to read and follow these instructions as malfunctioning
due to incorrect burn media placement is not covered by warranty.
• The Linear MUST NEVER be used with other burn media or burn media that is damaged.
• The Linear burn media sets are di󰀨erent and cannot be interchanged, ensure you have ordered
the correct set before installation.
Correct placement
It is important to place the burn media in the correct position. Incorrect placement can create
carbon build-up and a󰀨ect performance.
Single-sided/double-sided
When installing the burn media you will ALWAYS be working on the side where the pilot assembly
is to the back of the rebox.

Burn media installation
Ensure the gaps between the burners are kept clear of any vermiculite or crushed glass. This is
important as these gaps provide secondary air to the unit.
A tip to stop any burn media going into the gaps is to place the installation guide in the burner
gap while placing the vermiculite or crushed glass over the burner.

We recommend identifying the log sections before installation—lay them on the oor in a
conguration resembling the above. This will ensure you’re not forcing incorrect log pieces onto the
burner supports and scratching the paint.

2. Spread vermiculite
Using the image on p. 2 for reference, spread (DO NOT POUR) approximately three quarters of
the bag of vermiculite across the burners in a single layer. Start the re and check for complete
burner ignition.
Important:
• Avoid blocking the pilot and ame rod ports
• Ensure clearance around the left and right hand log locators
• Ensure the gaps between the burners are kept clear

3. Add the wire wool
Remove small sections of the wire wool (refer images on p. 10-11) and place where the ames
will be. These provide a glow e󰀨ect and will enhance the ame picture. Keep away from the pilot
assembly as this can cause the ame rods to earth out.
4. Install B3 from log set B (for all log pieces—charred side faces down)
Position B3 from log set B. The LH sections sits ON the log locator, RH section sits up against the
metal log tab.

5. Install A1 (from log set A)
Position A1, the LH section ts snugly into the two corner metal log locators, the RH section ts
inside AGAINST the log locator.

6. Install B2 (from log set B)
Position B2, the LH section rests in the cradle of A1, RH section, where the log splits, sits around
the log locator pin.

7. Install B1 (from log set B)
Position B1, the LH section rests in the curve of B2. The log locator for the RH section sits behind
the log—push the back of the log against the locator.
8. Install A2 and A3 (from log set A)
A3 sits towards the back end of the burner. The RH section rests on B3. DO NOT cover the larger
burner holes. Log A2 sits on B3—keep clear of the larger burner hole. Note the angle position in
relation to B3.

9. Install A4 (from log set A)
A4 sits B1, ensure the large burner holes are not covered.
10. Install the stone set
Using the assembled image on p.2-3, position the stones. Unlike the log pieces the stones can be
positioned where you like, however DO NOT place over the burner ports. Stones 1, 5, or 7 can be
placed in the cross-lighting bridges.
11. Position the left over vermiculite
Place the remaining vermiculite around the burners and use to cover the metal log locator
brackets, if they are showing, and any other gaps.
12. Test operation
Check for cross-lighting and complete ame across all the burners, and check impingement on the
logs. Adjust logs A2, A3, or A4 if required. Some ames may lean back in the re until the glass has
been installed. Refer following page for nal ame pattern (with glass on) for the single and double-
sided models.

Crushed glass and wire wool
1. Evenly spread the complete bag of crushed glass over the surface of the burner BETWEEN
the fold lines of the back and front burner. Ensure the gaps between the burners are kept
clear of glass pieces. This is important as these gaps provide secondary air to the unit, refer
guide on how to keep clear on the front page.
2. Remove SMALL sections of the wire wool and place evenly across the burner where the ames
will be (otherwise it will do nothing). These provide a glow e󰀨ect and will enhance the ame
picture.
Important: Make sure the area around the pilot assembly is kept clear.
3. Test operation by checking for cross-lighting and complete ame across all the burners. Some
ames may lean back in the re until the glass has been installed.
