7.0 OPERATION

When lit for the fi rst time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary con-
dition caused by the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not 
occur again. Simply open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation 
such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. 
This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the 
room.
