FIRST FIRE
The FIRST FIRE in your heater is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you
burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours
the first time you use it with the fan on.
When first operated, the unit will release an
odour caused by the curing of the paint and the
burning off of any oils remaining from manufac-
turing. Smoke detectors in the house may go off
at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate
the room for a couple of hours. The glass may
require cleaning.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause con-
densation and fog the glass. This
condensation is normal and will
disappear in a few minutes as the
glass heats up.
