Installation & Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from from parts before turning the
fireplace ON.
It is normal for fireplaces 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 gas fireplace 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 manufac-
turing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated-open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least
ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan
kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF”
position during this time.
WARNING: Check with your electronics manufacturer
before installing a television or other electronic de-
vice above this fireplace.
