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 Vermont Castings Majestic

odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the
curing of the paint and any undetected oil used in
the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) continuous 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.
