Linear 1000 burn media installation: 13569-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.

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.

1. Fold up the laser cut burner surrounds and tabs
The burners have laser cut sections and tabs that need to be folded up (refer images below) to
locate the di󰀨erent log sections.
2. Spread vermiculite
Using the image above as reference, spread (DO NOT POUR) approximately three quarters of the
bag of vermiculite across the burner section in a singe 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 sections of the wire wool 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.

7. Install the stone set
Place decorative stones around the burner as desired—just make sure they are not blocking any
burner ports. You can use the image on p.2-3 as reference for placement.
8. Position 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.
9. Test operation
Check for cross-lighting and complete ame across all burners, and check impingement on the
logs. Adjust logs as required. Some ames may lean back in the re until the glass has been
installed. Check again with the glass installed, using the below image as reference for the correct
ame pattern.

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 sections of the wire wool and place evenly across the burner where the ames will be,
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.
