NOTE
When this fireplace is initially lit, condensation will appear on the glass. This is normal in all gas fireplaces and will disappear after
several minutes. A paint smell will occur during the first few hours of burning. It is recommended to leave the fan off during this period to
help speed the paint curing process. This fireplace may produce noises of varying degree as it heats and cools due to metal expansion
and contraction. This is normal, and does not affect the performance or longevity of the fireplace.
