C. After the Fireplace is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the fireplace, you may notice that it produces
heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you
feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to
four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn
up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubri-
cants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation of
the glass is normal
Note: This fireplace should be run three to four hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Clean
the glass. Replace the glass and run the fireplace for an
additional 12 hours. This will help cure the products used
in the paint and logs.

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this condensation 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
the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of
initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas
fireplace glass cleaner may be necessary. 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.
