BREAKING IN YOUR NEW FIREPLACE
•
Remove any plastic covering materials that
may still be adhering to the trim parts, before 
turning the fireplace ON for the first time.
•
Burn the fireplace for at least ten (10) hours
the first time you use it, to break it in properly. If the 
optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan 
switch in the “OFF” position during this time.
•
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give
off some expansion and/or contraction noises during 
the start up and cool down cycles. Similar noises are 
produced by your furnace heat exchanger and your 
car engine.
•
It is also not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off
some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the 
curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the 
manufacturing process.
•
Provide adequate ventilation during the breaking in
process by opening all windows.
Proposition 65 Warning:
Fuels used in gas, wood burning or oil fired 
appliances, and the products of combustion 
of such fuels, contain chemicals known to 
the State of California to cause cancer, birth 
defects and other reproductive harm.
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6
Check with your electronics manufacturer before

CAUTION
NOTICE
DVR28IN Certified to ANSI Z21.88b-2008 / CSA 2.33b-
2008 Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters
This Direct Vent Gas Fireplace utilizes a sealed 
combustion system in which outside air is brought 
into the fireplace and the products of combustion 
are exhausted from the fireplace through two sepa-
rate concentric passageways within the same metal 
vent pipe. Since the vent pipe extends vertically 
through an exterior wall or through the roof to the 
atmosphere, the fireplace does not use room air for 
combustion.
