INStALLING LOGS, LAvA ROCK AND
GLOWING EMbERS
Each log is marked with a number. These numbers will help you
identify the log when installing. It is very important to install these
logs exactly as instructed. Do not modify logs. Only use logs sup-
plied with fireplace.
Open louvers, remove screen, unlock door latches, and open glass
door. See steps 1 and 2 of Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page 19.
Install logs according to instructions for fireplace model numbers.
1. Place log #1 (left base log) onto pin on left side of burner as
shown in Figure 39.
2. Place log #2 (right base log) onto pin on right side of burner
as shown in Figure 39.
3. Place logs #3 (left front log) and log #4 (right front log) onto
pins as shown in Figure 40.
4. Place log #5 (right rear log) onto pins on right rear of burner
(see Figure 41). Rest log #6 (middle crossover log) on top of
log number 2 as shown in Figure 41.
5. Place back end of log #7 (left rear log) onto pin on left rear
burner and rest front onto log #1 as shown in Figure 42.

7. 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 44). This will
create the glowing 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.
NOtICE: Do not put lava rock on burner or under burner.
Placing lava rock on burner will cause performance
problems.
8. Close glass door, lock door latches, replace screen, and close
louvers (see Removing Glass Door, steps 5 through 7, page
19).
WARNING: The glass door must be securely in place
before running this fireplace. Do not run this fireplace
if glass is missing or broken.

WALL SWItCH INStALLAtION
The installation of a wall switch allows you to activate the gas
control valve and turn the fireplace on and off. The wall switch is
to be connected to the incoming 120 volt regular household wiring
that supplies the electricity to the fireplace. See Wiring Diagram
on page 21.
OPtIONAL REMOtE CONtROL
INStALLAtION (MODEL WRC)
Note:
If using optional wireless hand-held remote control, the wall
switch must be in the ON position to be operational. The remote
control then becomes the switching mechanism for fireplace op-
eration.
1. Open lower louver panel of firebox.
2. The WRC model receiver does not require a battery. The
receiver can be installed by first plugging the short extension
cord into the fireplace receptacle. Then plug the receiver unit
into the extension cord. Finally plug the ignition module plug
into the receiver unit (see Figure 45).
