PRE-INSTALLATION QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
About curing of the paint
Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries
quickly in 15-20 minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature sili-
cone 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 to prevent build-up (such as Windex or a commercial fireplace glass cleaner).
• 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.
Why does my fireplace or stove give off odor?
It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odor. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives,
silicones and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials
used with the installations (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls
can react with heat and cause odors).
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 odors can last upward to 40
hours of burn time, keep burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odors dissipate.
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.
