FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Removing/Replacing Glass Door (Cont.)
Installing Lava Rock and Glowing Embers
Removing Glass Door
If replacement of glass is necessary, the entire assembly, glass and
frame, must be replaced. If glass is broken, wear gloves and tape
the remaining fragments onto the frame.
1. Remove screen assembly by pushing the rod either left or right
and then down and forward to remove screen/rod assembly
from the firebox. Set assembly aside.
2. Lift up on latches to unlock. There are two on top of firebox and
two below firebox that hold glass door in place (see Figure 37).
3. While holding glass door to prevent it from falling and causing
injury, remove the five screws from the hinge located on the
left side of door frame assembly (see Figure 37).
4. Remount the new frame at the hinge with five new screws
before closing door. This will ensure seating of the gasket.
5. Close glass door frame. Lock latches by placing the bar under the
tab on door and pushing down and back on latch (see Figure 37).
6. Replace screen/rod assembly by reversing step 1.
7. Replace louvers by reversing procedure under Removing Lou-
ver Panels, page 20.

INSTALLING LAVA ROCK AND GLOWING
EMBERS
It is very important to keep logs exactly as installed. Do not modify
logs. Only use log set designed for this fireplace. Logs under log/grate
assembly are attached to burner. Do not attempt to move these logs
as this will damage logs.
WARNING: Logs are unitized and attached to
the grate. Do not handle log/grate assembly by logs.
Always pick up by grate.
Open louvers, remove screen, unlock door latches and open glass
door. See Removing Glass Door, steps 1 and 2.
1. Pull ember material apart into pieces no larger than a dime. Place
these pieces loosely and sparingly directly onto the exposed front
section of the burner (see Figure 38). This will create the glow-
ing ember appearance as the flame touches the ember material.
Do not block air slots by using too much ember material in
one area. It is not necessary to use all of the ember material
provided.
2. Pour lava rock onto plenum but not onto flat burner. It is not
necessary to use all of the lava rock provided.
NOTICE: Do not put lava rock on burner or under
burner. Placing lava rock on burner will cause per-
formance problems.
5. Close glass door, lock door latches, replace screen and close
louvers (see Removing Glass Door, steps 5 through 7).
WARNING: The glass door must be securely in
place before running this fireplace. Do not run this
fireplace if glass is missing or broken.
