6.1OPERATING/LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner on models GDS28 and GS28.

When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
