CURING 

LOGS

During the 2-3 hour appliance break-in period, 
you may detect an odor from the appliance 
as the various paints and compounds used in 
the manufacturing of this log set cure. This is 
a normal and temporary situation that is not 
cause for alarm. However, you may want to 
provide extra ventilation to the room during 
this time.
To ensure proper curing of the logs:
•  Ignite  a  2"  flame  and  maintain  it  for  1

•  Burn the logs in consecutive 1 hour periods 

raising  the  flame  an  additional  2"  to  full
