Condensation on the glass

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this

condensation will disappear.

lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

 

 

 

 

When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This

Odor from appliance

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.
