Flames from the pilot (rear right back side of the pan burner) as

well as the main flame should be visually checked as the log set

is installed.
In normal operation at full rate, the flame appearance should be sets

of yellow flames above the rear burner section, and shorter blue

flames with glowing embers on the front burner section.
NOTE: all flames will be random by design, flame height will go

up and down.
Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans

to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place a blower inside the

burner area of the firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter

flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will result.
During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various

components of this appliance are treated with certain oils, films or

bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful, but may produce

annoying smoke and smells as they are burned off during the initial

operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches or eye or

lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last 2-3 hours with the burner

at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening

windows or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining

after this initial break-in will be slight and will disappear with

continued use.
