Fire Risk.

Do NOT place combustible objects within 48 inches in front of the appliance.

High temperatures may ignite clothing, furniture or draperies.

100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney, and

0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen.

As you become familiar with your appliance, you should periodically check the opacity. This will allow you to know how to burn as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0% opacity).

Maintain 4 ft (1.22m) clearance to combustible in front of appliance

NOTICE!

Q. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUES

SOLUTIONS

Odor from appliance

When fi rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is

 

caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.

 

 

Metallic noise

Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to

 

the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or

 

longevity of the appliance.

 

 

Whirring sound

The blower may produce a whirring sound which increases in volume as the speed is

 

increased.

 

 

CAUTION

Odors and vapors released during initial operation.

• Curing of high temperature paint.

• Open windows for air circulation.

Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
