It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to 
give off some expansion and/or contraction noises 
during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar 
noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger 
or car engine. 

 

It is not unusual for gas fireplace to give off some 
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the 
manufacturing process. 

It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for 
at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. 

We suggest that our gas hearth 
products be installed and 
serviced by professionals who 
are certified in the U.S. by the 
National Fireplace Institute
