Initial Break-in Procedure
• The fireplace should be run three to four hours
continuously on high.
• Turn the fi replace off and allow it to completely cool.
• Remove fi xed glass assembly. See Section 14.F.
• Clean fi xed glass assembly. See Section 3.
• Replace the fi xed glass assembly and run continuously
on high an additional 12 hours.
This cures the materials used to manufacture the fi re-
place.
NOTICE! Open windows for air circulation during fi re-
place break-in.
• Some people may be sensitive to smoke and odors.
• Smoke detectors may activate.

ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fi replace warms, this con-
densation will disappear.
Blue fl ames
This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the fi replace is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from fi replace
When fi rst operated, this fi replace may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from fi nishing materials
and adhesives used near the fi replace. These circumstances may require additional curing related
to the installation environment.
Film on the glass
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4
hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be nec-
essary. See your dealer.
Metallic noise
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the
sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity
of the fi replace.
Rock Media Kit
There may be some “cracking” noise coming from the fi replace during the fi rst few heating and
cooling cycles. This noise is associated with settling rock and some minor cracking of larger
pieces of rock. This will lessen over time as the glass rock is conditioned to the heating and cool-
ing temperature changes.
It is expected that a few small pieces (approximately 10 pieces) of rock may fall through the base-
pan and come to rest on the fi replace bottom. This has no affect on fi replace performance.
Power Outages
(battery backup)
This appliance can operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access the bat-
tery pack, the decorative front, mesh and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to Section 12
