Note: The first three or four fires should be of moderate
size to allow the oils and binders to be burned from the
fireplace and the refractory and paint to cure. You may
notice an industrial odor the first few fires. This is considered
normal.
Note: When first lighting your fireplace, it may be necessary
to pre-warm the flue to establish a draft. This is done by
holding a rolled up piece of burning newspaper under the
flue damper for a few moments. This will help reduce smoke
spillage during start-up.
Odors and vapors released during initial
operation.
• Curing of high temperature paint.
• Open windows for air circulation.
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
CAUTION
