It is not unusual for your gas ﬁreplace to give off some odor the ﬁrst time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.

Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open

all windows.

It is recommended that you burn your ﬁreplace for at least ten

(10)hours the ﬁrst time you use it. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan in the "OFF" position during this time.
