First Fire

The FIRST FIRE in your fireplace is part of the paint
curing process. T o ensure the paint is properly cured,
it is recommended you burn your fireplace for at
least four (4) hours the first time.
When first operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke
detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open
a few windows to ventilate the room for a couple of
hours. The glass may require cleaning.
NOTE: When the glass is cold and the appli-
ance is lit, it may cause condensation
and fog the glass. This condensation
is normal and will disappear in a few
minutes as the glass heats up.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT THE
GLASS IN PLACE.
During the first few fires, a white film may
develop on the glass front as part of the curing
process. The glass should be cleaned after the
unit has cooled down or the film will bake on
and become very difficult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

Normal Operating Sounds Of
Gas Appliances
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from
your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due to
the fact that there are various gauges and types
of steel used within your appliance. Listed below
are some examples. All are normal operating
sounds and should not be considered as defects
in your appliance.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) media and logs and is made of a
different gauge material from the rest of the firebox
and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of
steel will expand and contract at slightly different
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"
sounds. You should also be aware that as there
are temperature changes within the unit these
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal
for steel fireboxes.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight
"whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand
and contract at different rates resulting in some
"cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be heard
throughout the cycling process.

Aeration Adjustment

The burner aeration is factory set but may need
adjusting due to either the local gas supply or
altitude. Open the air shutter for a blue flame or
close for a more yellow flame.
Remove outer safety glass and inner glass panels
plus outer and inner base panels - see instructions
in this manual.
