INITIAL START-UP: NORMAL OCCURRENCES

WARNING! You must clean all finger- prints and oils from any gold surface prior to firing the fireplace for the first

time.

Fumes from curing paint and oil burning off the steel is a normal occurrence. Open window to vent the area until fumes disappear.

Condensation appearing on the glass each time you start the fireplace is also normal. Blue Flames will occur on the initial start-up. After fifteen minutes the flames will become

the yellow/orange flame color.

Remote Wall Switch: If you install a remote wall switch to operate the fireplace, leave the ON/OFF switch on the fireplace control panel in the “ON” position.

Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the fireplace, even temporarily. The optional thermostat may start the fireplace causing a combustible item to ignite.

If the fireplace turns on and off frequently while using the thermostat, you may want to adjust the flame height down until it produces just enough heat needed, or relocate the thermostat further away from the fireplace.
