|
| ISSUE | SOLUTIONS |
| Condensation on the glass | This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this |
|
| condensation will disappear. |
|
|
|
| Blue flames | This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed |
|
| to burn for 20 to 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 materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from finishing |
|
| materials and adhesives used near the appliance. 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 |
