Important Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire, explosion, property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

• Always refer to your gas appliance's instruction manual for specific installation and safety guidelines regarding media placement.
• Ensure adequate ventilation when operating any gas appliance.
• Do not obstruct the burner ports or pilot light with lava granules. Improper placement can lead to incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide buildup.
• Allow the appliance and granules to cool completely before handling or performing any maintenance.
• Keep children and pets away from the fireplace or stove during operation and while cooling.
• Do not use these granules with solid fuel burning appliances. They are intended for use with approved gas appliances only.

Package Contents

Your package should contain the following item:

• One (1) 10-pound bag of Real Fyre LF-10 Black Lava-Fyre Granules.

This image shows the Real Fyre LF-10 Black Lava-Fyre Granules in their original packaging. The clear plastic bag contains 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of dark, porous lava rock granules, designed to enhance the appearance of gas fireplaces and stoves. A small pile of granules is shown outside the bag, illustrating their texture and size.

Setup and Installation

1. Preparation: Ensure your gas fireplace or stove is turned off and completely cool. If replacing existing media, carefully remove it and clean the burner pan area according to your appliance's manual.
2. Placement: Carefully open the bag of LF-10 Lava-Fyre Granules. Distribute the granules evenly over the burner pan, ensuring that all burner ports are clear and unobstructed. The granules should form a base layer that covers the pan but does not interfere with the gas flow or flame pattern.
3. Avoid Obstruction: It is crucial that the granules do not block the pilot light or any burner openings. Improper placement can lead to inefficient burning, sooting, or dangerous carbon monoxide emissions. Refer to your gas appliance's manual for specific guidelines on media placement and clearances.
4. Layering (if applicable): If your appliance uses additional media like glowing embers or ceramic logs, place the lava granules first as a base layer, then arrange other media on top as instructed by your appliance's manufacturer.
5. Initial Burn: After installation, perform a test burn as recommended by your gas appliance manufacturer. Observe the flame pattern to ensure it is clean and stable.

Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the Real Fyre LF-10 Black Lava-Fyre Granules require no special operating procedures beyond the normal operation of your gas fireplace or stove.

• Enhancing Appearance: The granules are designed to absorb and radiate heat, contributing to a more realistic and visually appealing flame effect by providing a dark, natural-looking base.
• Ventilation: Always ensure proper ventilation when operating your gas appliance, as per its manufacturer's instructions.
• Observation: Periodically observe the flame pattern. If flames appear yellow, sooty, or unusual, turn off the appliance immediately and consult your appliance's manual or a qualified service technician.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and safe operation of your gas appliance and its media.

• Cleaning: Over time, dust or debris may accumulate on the lava granules. With the appliance completely cool, you can gently brush or vacuum the granules to remove loose particles. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the granules for any signs of deterioration or excessive sooting. If granules appear heavily sooted, it may indicate an issue with your appliance's combustion, and a qualified technician should be consulted.
• Replacement: Lava granules are durable and typically do not require frequent replacement unless damaged or heavily soiled. Replace them if they become significantly discolored, crumble, or if you are replacing other media in your fireplace.
