What happens when I first light my fireplace?
When you first light your fireplace, the initial curing phase is initiated. During the initial curing phase, a small amount of smoke
and odor will be emitted. This is normal. To complete the curing process, run your fireplace, on high fire, for two hours with the
fans on level 3. Open doors and windows to dissipate any odor. Turn your fireplace off. After it has cooled, run it again, on high
fire, with the blowers off until no smoking or odor remains. Refer to
Mendota Fireplace Curing Instructions
for more information.
