F10 Normal Operating Sounds and Smells
Note: Each time the fire is lit from cold the glass may fog up with condensation. This is normal and the
condensation will disappear within a few minutes once the glass heats up.
Sounds
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due to
the fact that there various types of materials used within your appliance. Listed below are some exam-
ples. These are all normal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your appliance.
Fan:
Escea gas appliances use electric fans to push heated air 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.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valves turn ON and OFF, a dull clicking sound may be audible, this is the normal
operation of a valve. When the fire is switched o after being run for a while, there may be popping
and fluttering noises as the residual gas in the burners burns away. These are normal and should be no
cause for concern.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Dierent types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at dierent rates resulting in some
“cracking” and “ticking” sounds being heard throughout the heating and cool down processes.
Smells
The first few times the unit is operated, the unit may release an odour and the flames will appear
orange caused by the curing of the paint, the burning o of the starch in the gas logs and the oils in the
metal. This is a temporary curing process which will disappear with use.
A deposit on the inside of the glass, caused by the starch in the logs, may appear as a build up after
several uses. If this film is not removed, it will bake on and may become dicult to remove. When the
glass is cold, remove it (see section E5) and clean the inside with a non-abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
UNDER NORMAL USE, NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE GLASS REMOVED.
