C. After the Appliance is Lit
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. Condensation
of the glass is normal
Note:
This 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 cure
the products used in the paint and logs.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows 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.
• Prevent accidental appliance operation when not
attended.
• Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if
absent or if appliance will not be used for an extended
period of time.
• Property damage possible from elevated
temperatures.
CAUTION
Smoke and odors are released during initial
operation.
• Open windows for air circulation.
• Leave room during initial operation.
• Smoke may set off smoke detectors.
Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive
individuals.

D. Frequently Asked Questions
Issue
Solutions
1.
Condensation on the glass.
1.
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation should disappear.
2.
Blue
fl
ames.
2.
This is a result of normal operation and the
fl
ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed to
burn for 20-40 minutes.
3.
Odor from appliance.
3.
When
fi
rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the
fi
rst several hours. This is caused by
the curing of the paint and the burning off any oils remaining from manufacturing.
4.
Film on the glass.
4.
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3-4
hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive
cleaner such as a gas
fi
replace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
5.
Metallic noise.
5.
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 appliance.
6.
Is it normal to see the pilot
fl
ame
burn continually?
6.
In an Intelli
