L. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this con-
densation will disappear.
Blue flames
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from fireplace
When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from finishing materials
and adhesives used near the fireplace. These circumstances may require additional curing related
to the installation environment.
Film on the glass
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4
hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be neces-
sary. See your dealer.
Metallic noise
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the
sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity
of the fireplace.
Wall above appliance feels hot to
the touch.
No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Specifica-
tions of the attached non-combustible material are listed in Section 1.E.
Glass rock media changes color
or luster
This is the normal response to prolonged heat exposure. The glass rock media may lose some
of its luster over time. See your dealer for replacement media.
