the fireplace. Do not place a blower inside the burn area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may
create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.
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. 

The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest
setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dis-
sipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with
continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed position. This can lead to
pilot outages and severe sooting outside the fireplace.
