K. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUE

SOLUTIONS

 

 

Condensation on the glass

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

condensation will disappear.

 

 

 

Blue flames

This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is al-

lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

 

 

 

 

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

Odor from fireplace

caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from

finishing materials and adhesives used near the fireplace. 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 necessary. See your dealer.

 

 

 

Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to

Metallic noise

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

 

longevity of the fireplace.
