Purge all gas lines with the glass door open. Assure that a 
continuous gas fl ow is at the burner before closing the door.

Do not operate the main burner of the insert 
with the door removed.
When lit for the fi rst time, the fi replace will emit a slight odour 
for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused 
by the "burn-in" of paints and lubricants used in the manufac-
turing process and will not occur again. Simply open a window 
to suffi ciently ventilate the room. After extended periods of 
non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather 
season, the fi replace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. 
This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning 
off. Open a window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.
