The left and right rear flames should be yellow and extend 1"-2" above middle logs. The yellow flames should

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into the stove. Do not
place a blower inside the burn area of the stove. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter flame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will result.
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 are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or lung
irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to three hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maxi-
mum ventilation by opening windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial
break-in will be slight and will disappear with continued use.
