About curing of the paint

Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries quickly in 15-20

minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone components, the paint will cure

when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used. The following information applies to the curing process to get the

paint fully hard and durable.

Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between each. Be aware

during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside of the glass doors. It is important

to remove this white deposit from the glass doors using a fireplace glass cleaner.



Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.



Ventilate well, open doors and windows.



Do not touch during curing.

Why does my fireplace or stove give off odour?

It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odour. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives, silicones and any

undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used with the installations (e.g. marble,

tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can react with heat and cause odours).

It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with the fan off (if a fan

is present) after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours of burn time; keep

burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odours dissipate.

Noise coming from the fireplace?

Noise is caused by the expansion and contraction of metal as the appliance heats up and cools down. This is normal and

is similar to the sounds produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of

your fireplace.

1. Be sure to read and understand all the instructions in this manual before operation of appliance.

2. Ensure all wiring is correct and properly enclosed to prevent possible shock.

removed.

5. Make sure venting and termination cap are installed and unobstructed.

6. If brick or porcelain liners are used, ensure they are installed.
