During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance
are treated with certain oils, lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful
but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial
operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung irritation. This
is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the high-
est setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors
to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in will be slight and will disap-
pear with continued use.
This appliance must not be used with glass doors in the closed position. This can lead
to pilot outages and severe sooting outside the replace.
