Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the appliance, you may notice that it pro-
duces heat which does have an associated odor or smell.
If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial
three to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a
second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from
paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Condensation of the glass is normal.
NOTE:
The appliance should be run three to four hours
on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely.
Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run
the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to
cure the products used in the paint and logs.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any
odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.
Fire Risk.
High Temperatures.
WARNING
Keep combustible household items away from appliance.
Do NOT obstruct combustion and ventilation air.
• Do NOT place combustible items on top of or in front
of appliance.
• Keep furniture, draperies away from appliance.
Smoke and odors released during initial operation.
• Open windows for air circulation.

ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
Condensation of the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue
À
ames
This is a result of normal operation and the
À
ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance
When
¿
rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the
¿
rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufactur-
ing. Odor may also be released from
¿
nishing materials and adhesives used around the
appliance.
Film on the glass
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing
process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas
¿
replace glass cleaner may be necessary. See
your dealer.
Metallic noise
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the appliance.
Is it normal to see the pilot
À
ame burn
continually?
In an Intelli
¿
re ignition system it is normal to see the pilot
À
ame, but it should turn off when
ON/OFF is turned off. In a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.
