ARNING
When lit for the first time, the Tucson will
emit some smoke and fumes. This is normal
“off-gassing” of the paints and oils used in
the manufacturing and assembly of the unit.
Open windows to vent the room if
necessary. The off gassing and fumes will
subside after the first 10 to 20 minutes of
operation.

ARNING
The natural stones used in the assembly of
the Tucson were polished using a water-
based polishing system prior to the assembly
of the unit. Any residue moisture in the
stones must be dried out slowly to avoid
damaging the stones. This is accomplished
by adhering to the following break-in
procedure.

ROCEDURE
When lit the first time, the Tucson should be
burned for no more than 15 minutes, then
allowed to cool for 1 to 2 hours. This gentle
warming and cooling of the unit will allow
any residual moisture in the stones to
evaporate slowly. Once this break-in
procedure has been completed, the Tucson
can be burned at will with no time
restrictions on the length of burn.
O
DORS AND
I
MPURITIES
A heater of this type may produce odors
during heater operation due to impurities
that may exist in the immediate area.
Sources of impurities can be cleaning
solvents, paint solvents, cigarettes, smoke,
pet hair, dust, adhesives, new carpet, and/or
textiles. Such odors will dissipate. However,
opening a window or otherwise providing
additional ventilation to the area can
alleviate the condition. If any odor persists,
contact your dealer or an authorized service
technician.
