PREPARING THE FIREPLACE FOR STONE MEDIA INSTALLATION

1. To access the glass door securing latches, ﬁrst remove the facade

assembly from the ﬁreplace.

2. Lift the barrier to clear the brackets and swing the bottom of the

barrier out. Then lower the barrier to clear the top channel.

3. Detach the two (2) door latches beneath the ﬁrebox ﬂoor.

4. Swing the bottom of the glass door away from the ﬁreplace to a

45° angle.

5. Carefully grip the door at the top and bottom, and remove it from

the ﬁreplace. Place the door in a safe location for later reinstallation.

INSTALLING THE CONTEMPORARY MEDIA

Install Tumbled River Stone (MTRS)

IMPORTANT: Refractory panels should be installed before any of the

contemporary media are installed.

1. Install the glass media in the recessed area between the front and

rear ﬂoors.

NOTE: 35” ﬁreplaces require less than a full bag of glass media. 40”

ﬁreplaces require an entire bag of media.

2. Spread the glass media in a thin layer, evenly over the burner.

Leave the pilot area open and take care to not allow crushed glass to

fall into the pilot.

NOTE: Do NOT mound the media.

3. Place stones on the ﬁrebox sub-ﬂoor, in any aesthetically pleasing

manner to suit individual taste. See Figure 1 and 2 for an example.

IMPORTANT: Be sure stones do not impinge on the burner outlet.

WARNING: If contemporary media are not installed

according to the installation instructions, ﬂame

impingement and improper combustion could occur

and result in soot and/or excessive production

of carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless,

toxic gas.

WARNING: Only use materials listed here. Only

contemporary media authorized have been tested

for use within the ﬁrebox and its environment. Do

not attempt to use any different materials in the

ﬁreplace. Doing so may be dangerous and will

void the warranty and will result in incomplete

combustion, sooting, and poor ﬂame quality.

Re-Installing the Glass Door, Barrier, and Facade

1. Retrieve the glass door. Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of the frame. Gasket surface must be clean, free of irregularities and seated ﬁrmly.

the door frame over the top of the ﬁrebox frame.

NOTE: Ensure the glass door is centered—with even spacing on each side.

3. Let the bottom of the glass door swing gently in towards the ﬁreplace ensuring that the gasket seats evenly as the door draws shut. Securely

fasten the two (2) latches beneath the ﬁrebox ﬂoor to the door V-ﬂange.

4. Install the barrier by sliding in into the top channel with the ﬂat side toward the ﬁreplace, then swinging the base of the barrier into the brackets

and lowering it into place.

5. Install the facade assembly to the front of the ﬁreplace.
