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).
It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with the fan off after the
curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours of burn time. Keep burning at a minimum
of four hours per use until odours dissipate.
About the Curing of Paint
Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint .This paint dries quickly (15-20
minutes) when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone components, the paint will cure
when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used.
The following information applies to the curing process to get the paint fully hard and durable:
Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between each. Be aware
during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside of the glass doors. It is important to
remove this white deposit from the glass doors with an appropriate cleaner (such as Windex or a commercial fireplace glass
cleaner) to prevent build-up.
•
Babies, small children, pregnant women, and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.
•
Ventilate well, open doors and windows.
•
Do not touch during curing.
Noise Coming from the Fireplace?
•
Noise 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 your fireplace.
