heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you

cants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation of

Solution
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this condensation will
disappear.
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is allowed to burn for 20
to 40 minutes.
When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of
the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound
produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the fireplace.
