NOTE:
When operating your new
fi
replace for the
fi
rst time, some vapors may be released due to the burning
of curing compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause
the
fl
ames to be the full height of the
fi
rebox, or even slightly higher, for the
fi
rst few hours of operation. It is also
possible that these vapors could set off any smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are
quite normal on new appliances. We recommend opening a window to vent the room. After a few hours use, the
vapors will have disappeared and the
fl
ames will be at their normal height.
