The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner. When lit for the first time, the fireplace will
emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the curing of the logs and the
"burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. Simply
open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as following a
vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust
particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
