Operation
18.0 Operation
18.2 First Fire
When operated for the first few times, the appliance will emit some odor and fumes. This is due to the heat from the appliance
evaporating the oils and solvents used in fabricating the appliance. Close off the room to the rest of the house and open all windows.
Keep the room well ventilated, as smoke alarm may sound. Run the appliance for at least 6 hours at maximum setting with blower set
to OFF to allow paint to cure (after the installer has checked to ensure the fan is operational). Smoke and fumes caused by the curing
process may cause discomfort to some individuals. Clean the glass door after this curing process has completed (see
Section 18.1
).
Be sure there are no fingerprints left on the glass panels as high temperatures can bake these prints on permanently.
