FINAL INSTALLATION
ROCK WOOL PLACEMENT
1. Place rock wool on burner to provide glowing
embers. For best results, pull the rock wool
apart into pieces the size of a nickel or dime.
2. Distribute one layer of rock wool to cover the
entire burner. Figure 18
3. Place the logs on the burner. Refer to Log Place-
ment Section.
If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit
and allow to cool. After unit cools, remove logs. If the
back holes are clear, add more rock wool to the cen-
ter of the burner. Replace logs and check flame again.
Save left over rock wool to refresh when cleaning later.
Too much rock wool can disturb the flame and cause
sooting on the glass or logs.
