11. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will occur.
12. Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appli-
ances will not filter or clean soot produced by these types
of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics
(scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance which
can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the
use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent-free appliance
is in operation.
13. Keep room area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
14. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not
harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells
as they are burned off during the initial operation
of the appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye
or lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary
occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with
the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum
ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors
to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial
break-in period will be slight and will disappear with
continued use.
15. Always have a fireplace screen in place when the
appliance is in operation and, unless other provisions
for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an
opening(s) for induction of combustion air.
