ISSUE	SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass	This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this con-
	densation will disappear.
Blue flames	This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is allowed
	to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
	When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused
Odor from fireplace	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. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4
	hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be nec-
	essary. See your dealer.
	Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the
Metallic noise	sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity
	of the fireplace.
	There may be some “cracking” noise coming from the fireplace during the first few heating and
	cooling cycles. This noise is associated with settling rock and some minor cracking of larger
	pieces of rock. This will lessen over time as the glass rock is conditioned to the heating and cool-
Optional Rock Media Kit	ing temperature changes.
	It is expected that a few small pieces (approximately 10 pieces) of rock may fall through the base-
	pan and come to rest on the fireplace bottom. This has no affect on fireplace performance.
Power Outages	This appliance can operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access the bat-
	tery pack, the decorative front, mesh and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to Section 12
(battery backup)
	for more details.
Wall above appliance feels hot to	No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Specifica-
the touch.	tions of the attached non-combustible material are listed in Section 1.E.
