Wiring
If any of the original wire as supplied with this fireplace must
be replaced, it must be replace with no. 18, 150°C wire or its
equivalent.
NOTICE
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noise during the start
up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your
furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the
first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open a
window.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all
windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least
six hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been
installed, place fan in the “OFF” position during this time.

Turn off gas before servicing fireplace. It is
recommended that a qualified service person perform these
check-ups at the beginning of each heating season.

•
Any safety screen, guard, or barrier removed to service an
fireplace must be replaced prior to operating the fireplace.
• Check Vent System
The fireplace and venting system should be inspected before
initial use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure
that no debris is interfering with the air flow.
Glass Cleaning
WARNING
Do not use Ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on glass.
Do not attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up
condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass
and causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the
glass surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on
the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and
warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After
that clean the glass two or three times during each heating
season or more often if necessary.
