Q. Opacity (Smoke)
Opacity is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is
burning.
Opacity is measured in percent:
•
100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by
the smoke column from a chimney, and
• 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen.
As you become familiar with your appliance, you should peri-
odically check the opacity. This will allow you to know how to
burn as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0% opacity).

ISSUES
SOLUTIONS
Odor from appliance
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Metallic noise
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.
Whirring sound
The blower may produce a whirring sound which increases in volume as the speed is
increased.
