Why does my fireplace or stove give off odour?

It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odour. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives,
silicones and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used
with the installations (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can
react with heat and cause odours).

It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with
the fan off after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours
of burn time, keep burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odours dissipate.

About curing of the paint

Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries
quickly in 15-20 minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature
silicone components, the paint will cure when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used.
The following information applies to the curing process to get the paint fully hard and durable.

Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between
each. Be aware during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside
of the glass doors. It is important to remove this white deposit from the glass doors with an appropriate
cleaner to prevent build-up (such as Windex or a commercial fireplace glass cleaner).

• Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.

• Ventilate well, open doors and windows.

• Do not touch during curing.

Noise coming from the fireplace?

• Noise 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 your fireplace.

GAS LINE INSTALLATION

1. The gas pipeline is brought into the unit on the back left side of the unit.

2. The gas control inlet is 3/8". Typical installation layout for rigid pipe is shown below.

3. When using copper or flex connector, use only approved fittings. Always provide a union so that gas line

can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.

4. When a vertical section of gas pipe is required for installation, a condensation trap is needed.

See CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 for code details.

5. For natural gas, a minimum of 3/8" iron pipe with gas minimum pressure of 4.5" w.c. must be used for supply

from the gas meter. Consult with the local gas utility if any questions arise concerning pipe sizes.

6. 1/8" NPT plugged tappings are accessible for test gauge connection both on the inlet and outlet of the gas

valve.

7. Turn the gas supply ON and check for leaks. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME FOR THIS PURPOSE. Use an

approved leak testing solution.

8. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during

any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 KPa).

9. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve

during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG
(3.5 KPa).

NOTE: The gas line connection may be made of 1/2" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector. Since some
municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authorities and the current
CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 installation code in Canada or the National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1 in the U.S.A.

For the state of Massachusetts a T

-handle gas shut-off valve must be used on a gas appliance. This T-handle gas

shut-off valve must be listed and approved by the state of Massachusetts. This is in reference to the state of
Massachusetts state code CMR238.

This gas appliance should be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with local building codes and with current
CAN\CGA-B149.1 or .2 installation codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment in Canada and the National
Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 in the United States.

NOTE: IF THE OPTIONAL FAN KIT IS TO BE INSTALLED IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT IT
BE ATTACHED TO THE STOVE BEFORE THE STOVE IS PUT IN ITS FINAL POSITION.
