FIRST FIRE
When lit for the fi rst time, the fi replace will emit a slight odour 
for a couple of hours. This is due to the curing of paints, seal-
ants and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. This 
condition is temporary. Open doors and windows to ventilate 
area. Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may 
cause discomfort to some individuals.
It is normal for fi replaces 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 cook stove oven.
OPERATING
The Town and Country Fireplace comes equipped with either 
a manual (millivolt) combination gas valve or an electronic 
gas valve. An optional wall switch or thermostat (Canada 
only) may be installed to operate the burner automatically on 
both types of valve.
Manual Valve:  Once a pilot light has been established, 
and the gas valve knob turned to the "ON" position (Manual 
Valve) or simply switched on with the "Burner" switch, the unit 
may be operated in one of two ways; manually adjusting the 
fl ame and/or turning the unit on and off automatically with a 
wall thermostat.
