Installation Warnings
NOTE: Consult the installation manual for order of installation. If using propane (LP), convert the appliance
before installing the log set. If using firebacks, install them prior to installing the log set.
 The logs are fragile, especially after being exposed to heat.
 Make sure the gas control valve is OFF and the heater is cool prior to conducting service.
 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 log set. Make sure the burner is fully seated
and the pilot is properly aligned. See owner’s manual for details on burner removal.
ORDER OF INSTALLATION
When setting up the insert, you will need to follow a specific order of installation to optimize installation time.
Failure to have all of the accessories available at the time of installation will delay installation and may lead to
unnecessary disassembly of components.
1. Run gas line to the fireplace
2. Remove the glass frame.
3. Run vent through fireplace chimney. On larger fireplaces, the vent connector may be left in place. For smaller
fireplaces, remove the vent connector. See “Vent Connector Removal and Installation” for details.
INSTALL THE LIGHT SHIELD (ALL FACES EXCEPT SHADOWBOX). The light shield (shipped
with the face) prevents light from exiting the upper grill area. Install this prior to placing the insert.
4. Place insert into position and attach the gas line and vent.
5. Remove the burner.
NOTE: If using propane (LP), convert the appliance at this time.
6. Install the firebacks.
7. Replace the burner.
8. Install the media (logs, stones - see instructions included with the media).
9. Install the surround panel (see instructions included with surround panel).
10. Replace the glass.
11. Install the face (see instructions included with the face).
12. Follow the instructions under “Finalizing the Installation.”
Installation – Oak vs. Birch
Both log sets are nearly identical in shape. The only difference is the paint scheme and some textural details.
Below you will find pictures of both the birch and the oak log sets. The installation pictures show the classic
oak log set.

Log Set Installation
The logs are fragile, especially after exposure to heat.
NOTE: The insert should be in place, with the gas line and vent attached and the firebacks installed (see owner’s
manual for further details).
1. Place the rear log as shown below. The two slots on the bottom of the log sit over the pin on the
burner. With the rear log in place, push it all the way back
2. Place the left log on the lower front portion of the burner. The notch on the bottom left of the log rests
on the grate. Push the log backwards until it is in contact with the sloped area between the front and
rear burner.
NOTE: Make sure the log does not obstruct any burner holes.

3. Place the right log as shown below. The notch on the bottom right of the log rests on the grate. Push
the log backwards until it is in contact with the sloped area between the front and rear burner. Make
sure burner holes are not obstructed.
4. Detail around the burner with ember chunks. Cover any exposed metal between the side of the grate
and the side of the firebox. Stack ember chunks over any portion of the perforated metal along the
front of the unit that IS NOT over the Ember-Glo lights (see picture below to the right).
Do not cover

5. Place ember chunks on any portion of the front or rear burner as long as it does not obstruct any
burner holes.
6. Detail the burner with Rock Wool. The included rock wool is placed on top of the burner to enhance
the glow from the burner. The rockwool can be applied in a relatively thick 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 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.
NOTE: Remove all rockwool from the pilot area (see below)..

7. Install the Ember glass on the perforated area directly in front of the grate. Place a thick layer of the
ember glass over the perforations making sure to cover all of the holes.
8. Lightly dress 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 insert it can 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).
NOTE: If power is supplied, turn the rheostat to until the embers have a realistic and aesthetically pleasing
appearance. Use the remote to turn the Ember-Glo lights on and off.
