FIRST FIRE

The 

FIRST FIRE

paint curing process. To ensure that the paint 
is properly cured, it is recommended that you 

burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the 
first time you use it with the fan on. When first 

operated, the unit will release an odour caused 

by the curing of the paint and the burning off of 
any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke 
detectors in the house may go off at this time. 

Open a few windows to ventilate the room for a 
couple of hours. The glass may require cleaning.
