Paint Curing

This insert has been painted with StoveBright high tem-

perature metallic stove paint. It leaves the factory dry to

the touch, but finishes curing as the insert is used. Fire

the insert four successive times for ten minutes each time

with a five minute cool down between each firing. Ventilate

the house during these first firings as the paint gives off an

unpleasant odor. It is recommended that persons sensitive

to an imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the insert

during the curing process.

Quiet Operation

As the Medina™ gas insert is burning, a number of normal

operational sounds may be heard. The flow of gas through the

gas valve and orifice may make a rushing or whistling noise.

If this noise is objectionable, it can be reduced by turning

down the flame. Turning down the flame can reduce total

heat output by more than 30%. When the blower turns on,

the sound of rushing air may be heard. The blower sounds

may be reduced by adjusting the speed control located on

the blower assembly. Also, a slight clicking sound may be

heard as the gas valve or blower switch turn on and off.

Blower Operation

Your Medina gas insert comes equipped with a 150 CFM

blower with a variable speed control and an automatic

temperature activated On/Off snap switch.

o

peration

:

1. Plug the blower power cord into a grounded (three-prong)

outlet. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong

(grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard

and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded

three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the ground-

ing prong from this plug.

2. After the insert warms up, the fan will turn on if the speed

control (located at the right below the firebox) is left in

the "ON" position. The fan will not operate until the insert

is warm.

3. Once the fan turns on, turn the knob to the desired speed.

No further adjustment is necessary.

4. If you do not wish to have the fan on, turn the knob until

it clicks into the "OFF" position.
