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 odour the first time it is burned. This is due to
the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from
the manufacturing process.

ventilated - open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for
a least six (6) hours the first time you use it. If
