IMPORTANT NOTICE (Regarding first fire up): When the unit is turned on for the first time, it should be turned onto high without the fan on for the first 4 hours. This will cure the paint, logs, gasket material and other products used in the manufacturing process. It is advisable to open a window or door, as the unit will start to smoke and can irritate some people. After the unit has gone through the first burn, turn the unit off including the pilot, let the unit get cold then remove the glass door and clean it with a good gas fireplace glass cleaner, available at your local ENVIRO dealer.
