OPERATION / MAINTENANCE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the fi rst time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again.

After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fi replace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In both cases, open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.

Purge the gas line with the glass door removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before reinstalling the door.
