After extended periods of non-operation such as following a
vacation or a warm weather season, the fi replace may emit a
slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in
the heat exchanger burning off. In both cases, open a window
to suffi ciently ventilate the room.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fi replace removed
or opened. Assure that a continuous gas fl ow is at the burner
before installing the door.
When lit for the fi rst time, the fi replace will emit a slight odour
for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused
by the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the
manufacturing process and will not occur again.
• Turn off all gas to the fi replace.
• Open windows.
• Do not try to light any appliance.

building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's phone.
Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

ment.
