During manufacturing, fabricating, and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films,
or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smells as they burn off the
first time the appliance is used. Operate the appliance 2 to 3 hours at the highest setting to burn off all the oils, films, etc.
Never use this appliance with glass doors closed. This could cause the pilot to go out and cause severe sooting outside the
fireplace. Always operate this appliance with the fireplace screens in place.
