FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your insert is part of the paint curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time you use it with the fan on. When first operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint, the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This condensation is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
1)Read and understand these instructions before operating this appliance.
2)Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3)Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4)Make sure the glass in the door frame is properly positioned. Never operate the appliance with the glass removed.
5)Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.
6)Ensure that the brick panels, if used, are installed.
7)Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be seen when lighting the unit, the logs have been incorrectly positioned.
8)The unit should never be turned off, and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
