IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY

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 a 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 during burn in period.
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.
