(Polished Brass & Brushed Stainless Kits Only): The finish on
the polished brass and brushed stainless louvers will require
heat to harden and cure (after approximately 3 fires, the finish
will be completely cured). Prior to burning this appliance, the
polished brass and brushed stainless surfaces should be cleaned
thoroughly with a good window cleaning solution and a soft
cloth. Do not use any metal polishes or abrasives to clean the
surfaces. Any oils or fingerprints left on the finish during the
curing process may become permanent blemishes.
