some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is 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 used in
the manufacturing process.
