Installation Notes
Install The Blower First
The blower is installed at the back of the fireplace. If using, we recommend installing it first so its installation does not
interfere with the light wiring.
WARNING: Disable power to the fireplace while installing the lights (disable the service breaker). Do not
activate power to the fireplace until the light kit is fully installed and grounded.
Do not connect 110-120 VAC to the gas control valve or wiring system of this appliance.
Installation
1. Disable power to the fireplace (turn the service breaker off).
2. Remove the screen and glass frame (see manual for details).
3. Carefully remove the logs and embers (if applicable).
4. Remove the media tray skirt.
5. Remove the media tray. Remove the two screws that secure the media tray to the front of the grate
assembly. Remove the tray and keep the screws for reinstallation (see below).

the fireplace.

fireplace, the blower rheostat will not be present on the dashboard.
15. Place the rheostat assembly onto the studs on the right side of the dashboard and secure using the 2
nuts included with the kit. Use an 11/32” nut driver to tighten the nuts.

Ember Glass Installation
•Make sure the media tray skirt is in place. The skirt hooks over the front of the ember platform and slopes
outward toward the glass. The skirt helps keep the glass and ember material from falling off the platform
when the glass is removed.
•Locate the perforations in front of the log grate.
•Place a thick layer of the ember glass over the perforations making sure to cover all of the holes
completely.

•Lightly fog the ember glass with the black touch-up paint provided. Check the appearance with the lights
on and add additional paint, as needed, for a realistic glowing ember appearance.
NOTE: If power is supplied to the fireplace, it can be helpful to turn the lights on while painting so you can
determine an appropriate amount of paint for a realistic ember appearance.
NOTE: We recommend that you use a piece of paper, cardboard as a shield to mask the log grate and burner
from overspray (see below).
Ember Material Installation
•Once the ember glass installation is complete, place a generous amount of ember material on the firebox
floor on either side of the firebox. Completely cover any visible metal on the firebox floor.
NOTE: Make sure no ember material is placed directly on the burner. Apply rockwool as needed for realistic ember
appearance.
HINT: Add a few randomly placed ember chunks over the ember bed glass to produce a more realistic appearance.
Rock Wool Placement
The included rock wool is placed on top of the burner to enhance the glow from the burner. The rock wool works
best when it is applied in a very thin layer. The best method for applying the rock wool is to brush it on to the
burner. Compress a clump of rockwool between your thumb and forefinger. Use a stiff brush to apply a thin layer
of rockwool fibers onto the burner. Do not use the entire bag of rockwool. Use only a small amount and save the
remainder. Over-use of rockwool will diminish the glow and may cause sooting or other adverse conditions.

•Remove the media tray skirt (see step 4).
NOTE: Take care not to disturb the ember bed media on the media tray when removing and replacing the media
tray skirt.
•The bulbs are now visible. Grasp the bulb with your thumb and forefinger and gently pull the bulb straight
out of the socket.
•Install the replacement bulbs into the sockets by gently inserting the bulbs pins into the holes on the
socket..
NOTE: .Take care not to touch the replacement bulbs with your fingers. Residue (oil,etc.) left on the bulb will
reduce the bulbs life span. Use foam packing or paper towel to hold the bulb when installing.
