F4 Normal Operating Sounds and Smells
Note: Each time the fire is lit from cold the glass may fog up with condensation. This is normal and the
condensation will disappear within a few minutes once the glass heats up.
Sounds
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due to
the fact that there are various types of materials used within your appliance. Listed below are some
examples (These are all normal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your
appliance):
• Fan:
Escea gas appliances use electric fans to push heated air further into the room. It is not un-
usual for the fan to make a “whirring” sound when ON. This sound will increase or decrease
in volume depending on the speed setting of your fan.
• Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valves turn ON and OFF, a dull clicking sound may be audible, this is
the normal operation of a valve. When the fire is switched off after being run for a while,
there may be popping and fluttering noises as the residual gas in the burners burns away.
These are normal and should be no cause for concern.
• Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some “cracking” and “ticking” sounds being heard throughout the heating and cool down
processes.
Smells:
The first few times the unit is operated, the unit may release an odour and the flames will appear
orange caused by the curing of the paint, the burning off of the starch in the gas logs and the oils in the
metal. This is a temporary curing process which will disappear with use.
F5 Cleaning the glass
A deposit on the inside of the inner glass, caused by the starch in the logs, may appear as a build up
after several uses. If this film is not removed, it will bake on and may become difficult to remove. When
the inner and outer glass is cold, remove both and clean the inside of the inner glass with a non-abra-
sive cleaner.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT. NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT
WITH THE GLASS REMOVED.
