City Series CST60E
Normal Operating Sounds Of
Gas Appliances
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from
your gas appliance. This is normal and is due to
the various gauges and types of steel within your
appliance. Examples are listed below. All are normal
operating sounds and should not be considered
defects in your appliance.
Unit Body/Firebox
The varying thicknesses of steel will expand and
contract at slightly different rates which can cause
"ticking" and "cracking" sounds. You should also be
aware that as there are temperature changes within
the unit, these sounds will likely recur.
Burner Tray
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s), media, and logs, and is made of
a different gauge material from the rest of the
firebox and body.
Pilot Flame
When on, the pilot flame may make a whispering
sound.
Gas Control Valve
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a dull
clicking sound may be audible. This is normal.
During the first few fires, a white film may develop
on the glass front as part of the curing process.
The glass should be cleaned after the unit has
cooled down or the film will bake on and become
very difficult to remove. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is
recommended that you burn a fire in your fireplace
for at least four (4) hours the first time. During the
first fire, the unit will release an odour caused by
the curing of the paint and the burning off of oils
remaining from manufacturing. Smoke detectors
may go off at this time. Open windows to ventilate
the room for a couple of hours.
DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT THE
GLASS IN PLACE.
First Fire
NO
TE
• When the glass is cold and the appliance
is lit, it may cause condensation and fog on
the glass. This condensation is normal and
will disappear in a few minutes as the glass
heats up.
