  • Page 5: Pre-Installation Questions And Answers

    Pre-Installation Questions and Answers Why does my fireplace or stove give off odour? It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odour. This is due to the curing of paint, adhesives, silicones and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used with the installation (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere these products to the walls can react with heat and cause odours).
