Caution:
Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce
combustion byproducts including soot. Vent-free appli-
ances will not filter or clean soot produced by these
types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aro-
matics (scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appli-
ance which can produce odors. It is recommended to
minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the
vent-free appliance is in operation.
13. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materi-
als, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
14. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various
components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils, films or bonding agents. These chemicals are not
harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells
as they are burned off during the initial operation of the
appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye or lung
irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours
with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum
ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors
to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-
in period will be slight and will disappear with continued
use.
15. Always have a fireplace screen in place when the
appliance is in operation and, unless other provisions
for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have
an opening(s) for induction of combustion air.
