Starting the Fireplace for the First Time
Cleaning Gold Surfaces
Fingerprints or other marks left on gold surfaces may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior
to turning the stove on. With the heater cool, clean gold surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth.
Fumes from the Painted Surfaces Curing
Burn the heater at a high setting with the blower off for an extended period (up to 48 hours). This will cure the
painted surfaces. Fumes from the paint curing and oil burning off the steel will occur. This is normal. We
recommend opening a window to vent the room.
Condensation
Water may appear on the glass each time you start the heater - this is normal.
Blue Flames
Blue flames will occur on the fireplace when it first comes on. After fifteen minutes the flames will turn a more
realistic yellow and orange color.
? Certain installations use a remote "wall switch" to turn the fireplace on and off. If this is the case,
leave the ON/OFF switch "ON".

! Do not place any combustible items on top of or directly in front of the fireplace, even temporarily.
The optional thermostat may start the fireplace causing a combustible item to ignite.
? If the fireplace turns on and off frequently while using the thermostat, you may want to adjust the
flame height down until it produces just enough heat needed.
Adjusting the Flame Height
+ Your fireplace has an adjustable flame to tailor the look and heat output to your specific needs. It is
adjusted by turning the middle dial on the gas control valve.
