give off some expansion and/or contraction noises
during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar
noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger

It is not unusual for gas fireplaces to give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the
manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated
during burn off — open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace
for at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it.
Place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during
this time.
Never connect unit to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This
gas is commonly known as
wellhead gas.
