| 40 minutes. |
Odor from appliance | When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of |
| the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. |
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 to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A |
| fireplace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer. |
