6.1 OPERATING/LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
The on-off switch is located on the back of the appliance at the top left corner on models CDVS280 and CS280.
When lit for the fi rst time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary
condition caused by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur
again. Simply open a window to suf
fi ciently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation such as
following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is
caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to suf
fi ciently ventilate the room.
