Burn-In Period; Codes, Massachusetts & New York - Lennox Hearth Products Radium-NG Installation And Operation Manual

5.0 BURN-IN PERIOD

On initial light up of a new appliance, the 'newness' will burn off within
the first few hours of operation. During this period some smoke may be
emitted from outlet grill, this should be no cause for concern. Accord-
ingly, the room should be well ventilated with all windows and doors
open during this period.
Depending on your use, the burn-in period may take a few hours or a few
days. Also if you have a sensitive sense of smell you may notice slight
odors during operating after the burn-in period is over.
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED DURING THE BURN-IN PERIOD.
THE ODOR AND HAZE EMITTED DURING THE BURN-IN PERIOD CAN BE
QUITE NOTICEABLE AND MAY SET OFF A SMOKE DETECTOR. MAKE
SURE SMOKE DETECTORS ARE NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE FIREBOX
(CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL CODE FOR ALLOWABLE DISTANCES).
