12.0 OPERATION
Ensure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner before installing the door. When lit for the first time, the appliance will
emit an odor for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in
the manufacturing process and will not occur again.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a
slight odor for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In both cases, open a
window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
