IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the
fireplace “ON”.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing
of the paint and any undetected oil used in the manu-
facturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated.
Open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) continuous hours the first time you use it.
If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan
switch in the “OFF” position during this time.
WARNING: Check with your electronics manufacturer
before installing a television or other electronic de-
vice above this fireplace.
