6.5 OPErATINg SOuNdS ANd SmELLS
When first installed, the furnace brick and metal are cold and must become hot before the appliance will func-
tion well. during the break-in period (the first 2 or 3 fires) create only small, hot fires using kindling; this will
allow the firebrick to cure. do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in the firebrick. this is a normal
occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. the paint may also smell a little for the first few fires as it
cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.
there are many different ways to start a fire, review the hints and warnings in this section to ensure the fire is
started properly.
