FIRST FIRE
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
The fi rst fi re in your stove 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 before 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.
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.
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 after the unit has cooled down
or the fi lm will bake on and become very
diffi cult to remove. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN
THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
