IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
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 CFM Corporation 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.
This gas fireplace should be installed by a qualified
installer in accordance with local building codes and with
current CSA-B149.1 Installation codes for Gas Burning
Fireplaces and Equipment. For U.S.A Installations follow
local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code.
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, all gas fitting
and installation of this heater shall only be done by a
licensed gas fitter or licensed plumber.
