Burn-in Period

During the first few times of operation of this 

appliance there will be some odor due to the 

curing of the paint and burning off of lubricants 

used in the manufacturing process. We recom-

mend that you open windows and ventilate the 

house during the initial burns. The paint emits 

non-toxic odors during this process.

Depending on your use, the burn-in period may 

take a few hours or a few days.

KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED 

DURING THE BURN-IN PERIOD.  THE ODOR 

AND HAZE EMITTED DURING THE BURN-IN 

PERIOD CAN BE QUITE NOTICEABLE AND MAY 

SET OFF A SMOKE DETECTOR.

If an optional blower is installed, Do not turn 

it on during the Burn-In period.
