INITIAL FIRING PROCESS -
!
Heat-curing the Paint and Log Set
This appliance has been painted with the highest quality
coating used in the hearth industry. Manufacturers have
selected this product because it has been proven durable,
colorfast, and beautiful at temperatures up to 1200°F
/ 650°C. Although the paint has been air-dried at the
factory, it must be heat-cured in order to maximize its
coating properties and durability. This process occurs during
initial firing of the appliance and will generate odor and
some visible smoke.
We recommend you do the following BEFORE operating the
appliance for the first time:
1. Ventilate: Open doors and windows and use a fan to
circulate fresh air throughout the room.
2. Vacate: The fumes are non-toxic, but can be
uncomfortable for babies, small children, pregnant
women, elderly, pets, or anyone having breathing
difficulties.
Gas Appliance Curing Process
1. After the installer has confirmed proper burner function
at all heat levels, the homeowner should operate the
appliance at a low setting for 2-4 hours, followed by 2-4
hours operation at a high setting.
2. Off-gassing by paint and log set ceramic material may
leave a white, powdery deposit on the inside surface of
the glass panel. This residue must be removed using a
non-abrasive household glass cleaner or warm water to
prevent permanent etching of the glass.
DO NOT USE AMMONIA-BASED CLEANERS.
See Section 8, OPERATION for detailed, day-to-day
operating procedures.
