call your dealer. Do not attempt to install the appliance unless all parts are in good condition.

B. Correct installation of the glass/gems and proper placement and installation of the burner

assembly, are imperative to safe operation of your appliance. Problems WILL occur if all items

certain that no part of the assembly protrudes (forward) beyond the face of the ﬁ replace.
