Before you begin — This unit is supplied with four (4) ceramic fiber logs. Do not handle
these logs with your bare hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from

remove any traces of fibers.

The positioning of the logs is critical to the safe and clean operation of
this heater. Sooting and other problems may result if the logs are not
properly and firmly positioned in the appliance. Never add additional
logs or embellishments such as pine cones, vermiculite or rock wool
to the heater. Only use the logs and 2G-RW (rock wool) supplied with
the unit.
Failure to position the parts in accordance with diagrams below or
to use only parts specifically approved for this heater may result in
property damage or personal injury.
CAUTION
DO NOT sprinkle volcanic rock on the logs or around the pilot or the
main burner. This may cause sooting. Only place volcanic rock on the
floor of the fireplace.
During initial operation of the new heater, burning logs will give off a
paper burning smell and orange flames will be present. Simply open
the windows for a few hours to vent the odor.
ROCk WOOL AND EMBER PLACEMENT
1. Place dime sized pieces of rock wool evenly over small
burner ports starting at pilot and down each side of
burner. Avoid placing rock wool on slots on either side
of burner. Figure 18. Wash hands after placing rock
wool. Skin irritation may occur.
WARNING: Do not cover slotted ports with embers.
. Place flickering bright embers (FBE-.1G) before placing
logs on burner. Separate embers into small strands
and place on top of existing rock wool on both sides of
burner where they can be seen. Try to avoid stacking
these embers on top of each other. Use smaller strands
for maximum effect. Use as much as needed to achieve
desired effect.
