FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fi re in your stove is part of the paint cur-
ing process. To ensure that the paint is properly
cured, it is recommended that you burn your fi re-
place for at least four (4) hours the fi rst time you
use it with the fan on. When fi rst operated, the unit
will release an odour caused by the curing of the
paint, 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.

During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the fi lm will bake on and
become very diffi cult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean

NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF GAS
APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal
due to the fact that there are various gauges
and types of steel used within your appliance.
Listed below are some examples. All are normal
operating sounds and should not be considered
as defects in your appliance.

gas appliances use high tech blowers
to push heated air farther into the room. It is not
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound
when ON. This sound will increase or decrease
in volume depending on the speed setting of
your fan speed control.

Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a differ-
ent gauge material from the rest of the fi rebox
and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of
steel will expand and contract at slightly different
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"
sounds. You should also be aware that as there
are temperature changes within the unit these
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal
for steel fi reboxes.
