D. After the Appliance is Lit

Initial Break-in Procedure

When you light the appliance, you may notice that it pro- duces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation of the glass is normal

Note: This appliance should be run three to four hours on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help cure the products used in the paint and logs.

During this break-in period it is recommended that some windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.

disappear.

Blue flames

This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed to burn for 20 to

 

40 minutes.

Odor from appliance

When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of

 

the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.

Film on the glass

This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of

 

initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas

 

fireplace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.

Metallic noise

Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced

 

by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the fireplace.
