D. After the Fireplace is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the fi replace, you may notice that it produces
heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you
feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to
four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn
up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubri-
cants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation of
the glass is normal
Issue Solution
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fi replace warms, this condensation 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
the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
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.
