OPERATING the FIREPLACE

26

BEFORE THE FIRST FIRE

1.  Make sure all construction materials have been removed from inside and around the fireplace. 

2.  Confirm that the electrical wiring is properly connected. 

3.  Check the gas supply for correct pressure and any leaks. 

4.  Confirm the proper placement of the burner media.

THE FIRST FIRE

 

The first time you light your 

H Series

 Vent Free Gas Fireplace an odor may be given off by the unit. This is 

normal and is a result of the ‘burn off’ of the lubricants and sealants used when manufacturing the fireplace. 

We recommend that you open the nearby windows for extra ventilation and operate the fireplace for at least 

four hours.

During this first fire, examine the flame for appearance and quality.  Examine the burner media for sooting. 

The flames should look like those shown below (single-sided version with concrete panels.) 

 

Since it is a metal fireplace, the heat-up and cool-down cycles may produce some noises caused by the 

expansion and contraction of these metals. The premium materials and build quality of your  

H Series

 Vent 

Free Gas Fireplace will keep these sounds to a minimum.
