OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into the
fireplace. Do not place a blower inside the burn area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that
alter flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with
certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying
smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing
headaches or eye or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide
maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining
after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed position. This can lead to pilot outages
and severe sooting outside the fireplace.
