IMPORTANT: Turn off the gas before servicing the appliance.
Although the frequency of servicing and maintenance will depend
on use and the type of installation, you should have a qualified
service technician perform an appliance checkup at the beginning
of each heating season. Specific guidelines regarding each

NOTICE
It is normal for steel appliances to make expansion and/
or contraction noise during the start-up or cool-down cycle.
Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or
car engine.
It is normal for your gas fireplace insert to give off some odor
the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any oil from the manufacturing process.
If odor becomes offensive, open windows.
