Note: Center the front two logs on the front log support ledge. Then make
sure they are positioned all the way forward and touching the back edges
of the grate tang uprights. The bottom of the two front logs are flat and
must sit on top of the front log support ledge.
Before you begin: This fireplace insert is supplied with a set of seven ce-
ramic fiber logs. Do not handle these logs with your bare hands. Always
wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. After handling
logs, wash your hands gently with soap and water to remove any traces
of fiber.
The positioning of logs is critical to safe and clean operation of this
fireplace. Sooting and other problems may result if the logs are not
properly and firmly positioned in the fireplace. Refer to Figure 18 and
Figure 19 and corresponding WARNING when completing following
log placement steps.
1. Remove top louver, grasp louver, lift and pull forward.
2. Lower bottom louver, lift and hinge forward.
3. Release two glass frame spring clamps at bottom of the glass door
assembly.
4. Swing the bottom of the glass door outward approximately 10-15
degrees, then grasping the edges, gently lift upward to remove the
door assembly, and set aside.
5. Remove the foam packaging that contains the log set from inside the
firebox.
6. Carefully unpack the logs and twigs. Spread them out for easy
identification.
7. Begin with the front left and front right logs. Place these so that
they are centered left to right on the front log support ledge. The flat
bottoms will rest on top of the front log support ledge, and they must
be position all the way forward and touching the back of the grate
tangs. Important: The front right log has a small knot as shown in
Figure 18.
8. Next install the large rear log. It will be centered left to right and
placed all the way to the back of the firebox, on top of the rear log
support. Note: DV25IN models incorporate two small tabs in the
rear log support that keep the back log positioned correctly. DV33IN
models have one small tab in the rear log support to ensure the back
log is in the correct position. The DV35IN models will have two
tabs bent forward in the rear log support to ensure proper left to right
positioning of the log, plus one small tab near the center that keeps
the back log from shifting forward.
9. Locate the center left log. It will have two locator pin holes on the
bottom flat surface. Align the two holes with the two left pins on
the burner assembly. Make sure this log is not raised up off of the
burner. The flat bottom surface must be completely resting flat on
the top of the burner surface.
10. Install the center right log. It will also have two locator pin holes on
the bottom flat surface. Align these two holes with the two right pins
on the burner assembly. Make sure this log is not raised up off of
the burner. The flat bottom surface must be completely resting flat
on the top of the burner surface.
11. Add the right twig by placing the locator pin hole on the bottom of
the twig with the pin on top of the center right log. The tip of the
right twig will rest on top of the rear log near the right end.
12. Add the left twig by placing the locator pin hole on the bottom of
the twig with the pin on top of the center left log. The long branch
of the left twig will rest in a small groove on top of the rear log. This
groove is near the left end of the rear log.
Warning: Failure to position the parts in accordance with this dia-
gram or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this
appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
13. Replace the glass door assembly onto the fireplace insert.
14. Secure the glass door with the two spring clamps located under the
firebox.
15. Re-install the upper and lower louver assemblies by aligning the end
tabs with the slots provided in the outer face flanges of the insert.
Note: Decorative Rock is not included with the Fireplace Insert,
however it may be purchased separately and placed only on the firebox
floor.
Do Not place decorative rock or rock wool on the logs or burner
assembly.
