OPERATING the FIREPLACE
12. BEFORE THE FIRST FIRE
1. Make sure all construction materials have been removed from inside and around the Fireplace.
2. Confirm the proper placement of the interior panels.
3. Confirm the proper placement of the burner media.
4. Confirm that the electrical wiring is properly connected.
5. Check the gas supply for leaks.
6. Close and properly latch the glass panel.
7. Check that the venting is unobstructed and in proper working condition.
13. THE FIRST FIRE
How to light your Halcyon Gas Fireplace for the first time is detailed in this section.
The first time you light your Halcyon 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.
Upon lighting the Fireplace when the glass is cold, some condensation may appear on the glass. This is normal and the
condensation will disappear as the glass warms.
During this first fire, examine the flame for appearance and quality. Examine the burner media for sooting. The flames should look
like those shown in
Figure 33.
After this burn-off period, turn off the Fireplace and let it cool
completely
to room temperature and clean both sides of the glass
and the interior panels as described in the
MAINTENANCE
section.
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 Halcyon Gas Fireplace will keep these sounds to a minimum.
