IMPORTANT: Please review the following carefully.
It is normal for inserts 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 insert 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 DURING INITIAL BURN OFF/CURING
PHASE.
Burn your insert for at least six (6) hours on "HIGH" the
first time you use it. Place the fan in the "OFF" position
during this time.
