B. Install the Stainless Burner/Pan Assembly
The burner/pan assembly is shipped ready for right-hand
gas connection. See Section 3.B. for left-hand connection.
• Remove the existing cap or gas jet assembly from the
gas stub in your replace. Clean the threads using a wire
brush or steel wool. Apply Teon tape or joint compound
to the steel tting and attach the provided brass adapter
to the stub.
• Place the burner/pan assembly in the replace. The pan
should be centered both front to back and side to side.
• Bend the provided gas connector to facilitate its installation
between the burner and the gas stub.
• Attach one end of the gas connector to the brass elbow
or safety pilot tting. Attach the other end to the brass
adapter at the gas tube.
C. Install the Stainless Grate
• The grate should be centered over the burner pan, side
to side. If the grate sits toward the front of the burner pan,
the ames will be larger coming through the logs. If the
grate sits toward the back of the burner pan, the ember
bed will be more prominent. Refer to Figure 4.2.

D. Placement of Lava Rock
• Pour the lava rock into the burner pan. Lava rock should
follow the slope of pan, covering it and the burner tube
completely.
Note: Use caution so Lava rock does not get into the air
mixer on LP models.
• Allow the Lava rock to spill out the front of the pan and
over the sides onto the replace oor.
Important: Cover the pilot assembly to protect it before
installing the Lava rock.
• Inspect the pilot burner to ensure it is clear of any
Lava rock.
• The gas burns at the point of the least resistance. In
case of an uneven ame pattern it may be necessary to
adjust the materials in the pan (using an object such as a
screwdriver) to achieve the desired eect.
