IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from from parts before turning the
fireplace ON.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing
of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufactur-
ing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated-
open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the
optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch
in the "OFF" position during this time.
