When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapours are quite

This fire is supplied with ceramic "coals" to simulate a real coal fire. These items are designed for easy refitting if removed. After some use, the coals may change colour. This is quite normal.
