GLASS PLACEMENT
BURNER PREPARATION
After hooking up the burner to the fi replace gas supply
and placing the heat shield on the valve assembly (if
purchased), the media (glass w/sand or vermiculite) must
be added for the burner to function as designed.
Note: These instructions show sand being used as a
base for the glass, but only natural-gas burners
use sand. For propane burners, follow these
instructions using Lava-Fyre Granules™ in
place of sand.
WARNING
The burner and pilot (if equipped) must be OFF (fully
extinguished), and all valve covers must be in place before
pouring media onto the burner. It may also be necessary
to temporarily cover the pilot assembly (if equipped) to
keep glass and sand out of it during this procedure.
SAND/GRANULE PLACEMENT
1. Pour the entire bag of sand (natural) or granules
(propane) directly onto the burner pan (Fig. 15-2).
Note: Keep the media in the pan as much as possible
(it is natural for a little bit to spill out the front
of the pan onto the fi replace fl oor).
2. Smooth out the media so that it conforms roughly to
the wedge shape of the pan (Fig. 15-2).
3. Place the perforated metal support grid over the sand
or granules so that the angled part hooks over the
top and back of the burner pan, as shown in Fig.
15-3.
GLASS PLACEMENT
CAUTION: Glass pieces may have sharp edges.
Be careful handling the glass. Use hand
protection, such as gloves, if necessary.
1. Pour the glass directly on top of the support grid so
that the burner pan is covered completely and evenly
(Figs. 15-3, 15-4).
Note: At this stage the burner will function as
designed; however, more glass may be added
around the burner for decorative purposes. If
glass is desired behind the burner pan, it may
be left at a lower level than the back of the
pan, as shown in Fig. 15-5, or raised up to
or above the level in the back of the pan.
2. Add additional decorative glass around the burner
pan as desired (Fig. 15-5).
