D. After Appliance is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the appliance, you may notice that it produces
heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you
feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three
to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second
burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation
of the glass is normal.
NOTE:
The appliance should be run three to four hours on the
initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove
and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the appliance
for an additional 12 hours. This will help to cure the products
used in the paint and logs.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any
odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.
E. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue flames
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is al
-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from fireplace
When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused
by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Odor may
also be released from finishing materials and adhesives used around the fireplace.
Film on the glass
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint. Glass should be cleaned within 3
to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A
non-abrasive cleaner such as gas fireplace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Metallic noise
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the fireplace.
Is it normal to see the pilot flame burn
continually?
In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot flame should turn off when appliance is
turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot flame to
remain lit. In a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.
