It is normal for stoves fabricated of steel to give off some
expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up
or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your
furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas stove to give off some odor
the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the
paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing
process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated-open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your stove for at least
ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan
kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the "OFF"
position during this time.
