FIRST FIRE

The first fire in your stove is part of the paint curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours

the first time you use it with the fan on. When first operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint, the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the room for a couple of hours.

The glass panel may require cleaning after the unit has cooled down. DO

NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance is lit, it may cause con- densation and fog the glass. This condensation is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.

During the first few fires, a white film may develop on the glass front as part of the curing process. The glass should be cleaned or the film will bake on and become very difficult to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean the glass while it is hot.

The fan operates automatically, turn the knob on the side of the faceplate to adjust to the desired speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comes up to operating temperature. After the unit has been turned off and the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range the fan will shut off automatically.

Blower:
