1.  Place rock wool on burner to provide glowing 

embers. For best results, pull the rock wool apart 
into pieces the size of a dime or smaller. 

2.  Distribute one layer of rock wool to cover the burner. 

See Figure 40.

3.  Place the logs on the burner. See Log Placement 

below. Light unit and after 15 minutes, check burner 
flame and glow. See Burner Flame, page 38. 

If the flame is blue and only in the center, turn off unit 
and let cool. After unit cools, remove logs. If the back 
holes are clear, add more rock wool to the center 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.
