Opacity  is  the  measure  of  how  cleanly  your  appliance  is 
burning.

Opacity is measured in percent:

• 

100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by 

the smoke column from a chimney, and 

•  0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen.  

As  you  become  familiar  with  your  appliance,  you  should 
periodically check the opacity.  This will allow you to know 
how to burn as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0% 
opacity).  

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 manufacturing.

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.

Whirring sound

If the optional blower has been installed, the blower produces a whirring sound which 
increases in volume as the speed is increased.
