When you light your fireplace for the first time, 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 con-
tinuous burn on high followed by a second baurn of up to 12 hours to fully drive
off any odor from paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. (See
Cleaning Glass Assembly section for further information.) Additionally, 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.
