Paint Curing
This insert has been painted with StoveBright high tem-
perature metallic stove paint. It leaves the factory dry to
the touch, but finishes curing as the insert is used. Fire
the insert four successive times for ten minutes each time
with a five minute cool down between each firing. Ventilate
the house during these first firings as the paint gives off an
unpleasant odor. It is recommended that persons sensitive
to an imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the insert
during the curing process.
Quiet Operation
As the Medina™ gas insert is burning, a number of normal
operational sounds may be heard. The flow of gas through the
gas valve and orifice may make a rushing or whistling noise.
If this noise is objectionable, it can be reduced by turning
down the flame. Turning down the flame can reduce total
heat output by more than 30%. When the blower turns on,
the sound of rushing air may be heard. The blower sounds
may be reduced by adjusting the speed control located on
the blower assembly. Also, a slight clicking sound may be
heard as the gas valve or blower switch turn on and off.
Blower Operation
Your Medina gas insert comes equipped with a 150 CFM
blower with a variable speed control and an automatic
temperature activated On/Off snap switch.
o
peration
:
1. Plug the blower power cord into a grounded (three-prong)
outlet. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard
and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the ground-
ing prong from this plug.
2. After the insert warms up, the fan will turn on if the speed
control (located at the right below the firebox) is left in
the "ON" position. The fan will not operate until the insert
is warm.
3. Once the fan turns on, turn the knob to the desired speed.
No further adjustment is necessary.
4. If you do not wish to have the fan on, turn the knob until
it clicks into the "OFF" position.
