OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid any drafts that alter burner fl ame patterns. Do
not allow fans to blow directly into the fi replace. Do not
place a blower inside the burn area of the fi rebox. Ceiling
fans may create drafts that alter fl ame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain oils,
fi lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful,
but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are
burned off during the initial operation of the appliance,
possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This
is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours
with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum
ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to
dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will
be slight and will disappear with continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the
closed position. This can lead to pilot outages and severe
sooting outside the fi replace.
