IMPORTANT NOTE
(Polished Brass & Brushed Stainless Kits Only): The finish on the polished brass and brushed stainless louvers will require heat to harden and cure (after approximately 3 fires, the finish will be completely cured). Prior to burning this appliance, the polished brass and brushed stainless surfaces should be cleaned thoroughly with a good window cleaning solution and a soft cloth. Do not use any metal polishes or abrasives to clean the surfaces. Any oils or fingerprints left on the finish during the curing process may become permanent blemishes.
