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.
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.

•  Leave room during initial operation.

•  Smoke may set off smoke detectors.

Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive 

individuals.

•  Prevent accidental appliance operation when not 

attended. 

•  Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if absent 

or if appliance will not be used for an extended period of 
time.

•  Property damage possible from elevated temperatures.

Fire Hazard.
Keep combustible materials, gasoline and 
other  fl ammable vapors and liquids clear of 
appliance.

•  Do NOT store fl ammable materials in the 

appliance’s vicinity.

•  Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, 

charcoal lighter  fl uid or similar liquids in this 
appliance.

•  Combustible materials may ignite.

 Condensation of the glass

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this 

condensation will disappear.

 Blue fl ames

This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al-

lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

 Odor from appliance

When fi rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the fi 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 fi 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 fi 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 fl ame burn
  continually?

In an Intellifi re ignition system it is normal to see the pilot fl ame, but it should turn off when 

ON/OFF is turned off. In a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.
