IMPORTANT:

Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the fireplace
ON.
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 odor
the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least
ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan kit
has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF” position
during this time.
