Note: As you use the appliance, expansion and contraction will cause minor cracking of the refractory. This is normal, unavoidable, and will not affect the performance of the appliance. If the cracks become large enough that the metal behind the refractory is exposed or large pieces fall out, the panels should be replaced.

IMPORTANT! This appliance should be run three to four hours on low on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and clean the glass. Reinstall the glass and run the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help cure the products used in the paint and logs.
