ML-47DRIFTWOOD LOG KIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Caution: The log pieces are fragile. Exercise extreme care when opening the log set package and removing individual log pieces. Introduction: The ML-47 Driftwood Log Set is designed and created to replicate naturally weathered wood. The colors selected include black shades, grey shades, brown shades and green moss shades. The moss growth is replicated in certain recessed areas of each log piece. Optional Base Media: The driftwood set may be paired with Natural Rock Kit, Coals, White Marble Rock Kit or other glass media. It is up to the homeowner to select the desired cosmetic effect. Base Media Kit(s) are not included with the Driftwood Log Set and must be purchased separately. Note: In these instructions, the Natural Rock Kit is shown. The same installation procedures apply to other base media type selected. HINT: The flame appearance shapes and flame color quality change dramatically with the amount of base media placed on top of the burner and media placed over the combustion air slots behind the burner and in front of the burner. Flame appearance is always better if sparse media is used. Burner Top Color: To provide for extended burner lifetime, the burner top material is selected to be 304 Stainless Steel. High temperature powder paint or liquid spray paint do not adhere to 304 Stainless Steel readily. For this reason, the burner top is left bare and unpainted. If you wish, you may use Stove Bright High Temperature Spray Paint to touch up the burner top, while understanding that the paint may only temporarily remain on the burner. This is strictly a cosmetic option that you may use. Sooting Potential on Log Pieces: Follow specific instructions provided to cover the large burner holes with Base Media. Failure to do so can result in soot formation on log pieces if the yellow color zones of the flames impinge directly underneath the log pieces. The instruction provided to block specific burner ports are intended to eliminate soot formation on the driftwood log pieces.
Installation Instruction: 1. Install the burner floor plate (Burner Airbox) and one Panoramic Curved Liner inside the firebox per instructions included with the Panoramic Curved Liner Kit. 2. Identify the Driftwood Log Pieces per diagram, below. 3. See diagram, below. Identify the large holes which are shaded in the diagram. Place one piece of base media directly over each of these 6 holes. If using Natural Rock as base media, select smallest rock pieces and place them directly over the holes identified.
Note: Place Logs 1, 2 and 3 directly on the floor plate only. Do not attempt to place Logs 1, 2 or 3 on top on top of any base media. The logs are designed to sit directly on top of a flat surface. 4. Place Log #2 in location shown, below. Left rear edge of Log #2 shall touch rear wall of the Panoramic Curved Liner and front right tip shall be about ½ in front of rear edge of the burner. Left edge shall be approximately 8 from the left edge of the burner, as shown, below. 8 8
5. Place Log #1 with its left rear edge touching rear wall of panoramic panel and left edge touching the curved corner of the panoramic panel liner. Front right tip of Log #1 should sit in front of the front edge of the burner and in front of the combustion air slot. 6. Place Log #5 in front of the burner as shown, below. Log #5 may sit on top of Base Media as you desire and its left to right location is not critical. However, avoid placing Log #5 on top of burner ports. #1 #5 #1 #2 #5 Front Tip of Log #1 sits in front of air slot.
7. Log #3 sits as shown in the image, below. The right rear corner of Log #3 touches the curved right corner of the panoramic panel and the front left tip sits directly on top of the burner floor plate (Burner Airbox) approximately 1-3/4 in front of the front edge of the burner. #3 #4 8. Place Log #4 in front of the burner as shown, above. Log #4 may sit on top of Base Media as you desire and its left to right location is not critical. However, avoid placing Log #4 on top of burner ports. 9. You may place Base Media randomly on top of the remaining burner surface. But do not pack media tightly. Leave large gaps between media pieces. You may place multiple layer of media on top of the burner, however, be aware that the flame appearance, flame height and flame color will vary depending media distribution. Definitely avoid blocking off air slots in front and rear of burner. You can sparsely distribute Base Media over air slots but majority of air slots must remain open to allow combustion air flow to the burner flames. 10. You may sprinkle inswool over Base Media and Burner Top loosely to gain glow effect and to hide burner surface, if desired. 11.
