I. After Fireplace is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
• The fireplace should be run three to four hours
continuously on high.
• Turn the fireplace off and allow it to completely cool.
• Remove fixed glass assembly. See Section 14.F.
• Clean fixed glass assembly. See Section 3.
• Replace the fixed glass assembly and run continuously
on high an additional 12 hours.
This cures the materials used to manufacture the fire-
place.
NOTICE! Open windows for air circulation during fire-
place break-in.
• Some people may be sensitive to smoke and odors.
• Smoke detectors may activate.

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this con-
densation will disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from finishing materials
and adhesives used near the fireplace. These circumstances may require additional curing related
to the installation environment.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4
hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be nec-
essary. See your dealer.
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 fireplace.
There may be some "cracking" noise coming from the fireplace during the first few heating and
cooling cycles. This noise is associated with settling rock and some minor cracking of larger
pieces of rock. This will lessen over time as the glass rock is conditioned to the heating and cool-
ing temperature changes.
It is expected that a few small pieces (approximately 10 pieces) of rock may fall through the base
pan and come to rest on the fireplace bottom. This has no affect on fireplace performance.
This appliance can operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access the bat-
tery pack, the decorative front, mesh and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to Section 12
for more details.
No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Specifica-
tions of the attached non-combustible material are listed in Section 1.E.
