Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking.
This is a normal condition, and is the result of burning of protective
coatings on new metal.
Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas", leav-
ing a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber
walls. This can easily be removed using normal household prod-
ucts.
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control com-
partment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot
