FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fi re in your insert is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you
burn your fi replace for at least four (4) hours
the fi rst time you use it with the fan on. When
fi rst operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Smoke detectors in the house may go off at
this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the
room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning
after the unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass.
This condensation is normal and
will disappear in a few minutes as
the glass heats up.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read and understand these instructions
before operating this appliance.
2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and
enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.

properly positioned. Never operate the
appliance with the glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting and cap are
unobstructed.

seen when lighting the unit, the logs have
been incorrectly positioned.

again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.

installer must ensure that the appliance is fi ring
correctly. This includes:
1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the
correct fi ring rate (rate noted on label) at 15
minutes.
2) If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure
that the fl ame does not carbon. First allow
the unit to burn for 15 min. to stabilize.
3) Check for proper draft.
CAUTION
Any alteration to the product that
causes sooting or carboning that
results in damage to the exterior facia
is not the responsibility of
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the fi lm will bake on and
become very diffi cult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
