IMPORTANT:

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY

Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the fireplace “ON”.

It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.

It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil used in the manu- facturing process.

Please ensure that your room is well ventilated. Open all windows.

It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least ten (10) continuous hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.
