Installation Warnings
The logs are fragile, especially after being exposed to heat.
Make sure the gas control valve is OFF and the heater is cool before servicing.
Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
The burner must be correctly positioned before installing the logs. Make sure the burner is
fully seated and the pilot is properly aligned.
Burner Installation

Older units were shipped with front and side burner skirts pre-installed. Remove these skirts before
proceeding.
Remove the 7 screws holding the front and side burner skirts in place. The skirts may be discarded (keep
the screws).
Make sure to replace the 4 screws (2 each side) that held the side burner skirts in place (plugging the holes
in the valve tray).
NOTE FOR OLDER UNITS WITH SIT PILOT ASSEMBLY
If you have an older unit with a SIT pilot assembly (see picture to

Ember Placement
7. Place a layer of embers along the edges of the burner, rivets, and fireback floor to enhance the aesthetics
of the firebox. Do not place embers over any burner holes. See the photos below.
Rock Wool Placement
8. Place the included rock wool on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner.
NOTE: The rock wool works best when it is applied in a very thin, porous layer.
The best method for applying the rock wool is to brush it on to the burner.
a) Compress a clump of rock wool between your thumb and forefinger.
b) Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer of rock wool fibers onto the burner. Do not use the entire bag of
rock wool. Use only a small amount and save the remainder. Over-use of rock wool will diminish the
glow and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.
