C. After the Fireplace is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the fi replace, you may notice that it produces
heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you
feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to
four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn
up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubri-
cants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation of
the glass is normal
Note: This fi replace should be run three to four hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Clean
the glass. Replace the glass and run the fi replace for an
additional 12 hours. This will help cure the products used
in the paint and logs.

initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas
fi replace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
