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 materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from finishing materials

 

and adhesives used near the appliance. These circumstances may require additional curing

 

related to the installation environment.

 

 

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. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be

sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity

 

of the appliance.
