I. After Fireplace is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
• The fireplace should be run three to four hours
continuously on high.
• Turn the replace o and allow it to completely cool.
• Run continuously on high an additional 12 hours.
This cures the materials used to manufacture the replace.
NOTICE! Open windows for air circulation during replace
break-in.
• Some people may be sensitive to smoke and
odors.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
J. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue ames This is a result of normal operation and the ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance When rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from nishing
materials and adhesives used near the appliance. 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 and logs. Glass should be cleaned within
3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may
be necessary. 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 aect the operation or
longevity of the appliance.
Is it normal to see the pilot
ame burn continually?
In an IntelliFire ignition system (IPI), the pilot ame should turn o when appliance is turned o.
Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot ame to remain lit. In a
standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.
