Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the replace, you may notice that it produces
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 lubri-
cants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation of
the glass is normal
Issue Solutions
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the replace warms, this condensation will
disappear.
Blue ames This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the replace is allowed to burn for 20 to
40 minutes.
Odor from replace When rst operated, this replace may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is caused by the curing of
the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
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
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 replace.
