Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the appliance, you may notice that it pro-
duces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If
you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial
three to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a
second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from
paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Aftermarket finishing materials commonly used around the
appliance may need time to cure also. Condensation of the
glass is normal.
NOTE:
The appliance should be run three to four hours on
the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely.
Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run
the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to
cure the products used in the paint and logs.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some win-
dows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will help
avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any odors
associated with the appliance’s initial burning.
Fire Risk.
High Temperatures.

ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance
warms, this condensation will disappear.
Blue flames
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the
appliance is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours.
This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining
from manufacturing. Odors may also be released from finishing materials and
adhesives used around the fireplace.
Film on the glass
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be
cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the
manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas fireplace glass cleaner
may be necessary. See your dealer.
Metallic noise
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down,
similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect
the operation or longevity of the fireplace.
Is it normal to see the pilot flame
burn continually?
In an Intellifire ignition system it is normal to see the pilot flame, but it should turn off
when ON/OFF is turned off. In a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.
