Heat-N-Glo Gas Fireplace, Owner'S Manual, Page: 12 / 31

11
When you light your fireplace, you may notice:
• This gas appliance produces heat which does have an associated odor or
smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial 3-4 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 pro-
cess. (See Cleaning Glass Assembly section for further information.) Addi-
tionally, for the first few minutes after each lighting, vapor may condense and
fog the glass and flames may be blue. After a few minutes this moisture will
disappear and within 15-30 minutes the flames should become yellow.
• Noise 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 your fireplace.

in the safety information on page 6. If you don't
smell gas, go to the next step.
