CURING
LOGS
During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period,
you may detect an odor from the appliance
as the various paints and compounds used in
the manufacturing of this log set cure. This is
a normal and temporary situation that is not
cause for alarm. However, you may want to
provide extra ventilation to the room during
this time.
To ensure proper curing of the logs:
• Ignite a 2" flame and maintain it for 1
hour.
• Burn the logs in consecutive 1 hour periods
raising the flame an additional 2" to full
flame height for a total of three hours.
