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.
• Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at different rates resulting in “cracking” and “ticking” sounds throughout the heating and cooling periods.
• You should also be aware that as temperatures change within the unit these sounds will likely re­occur. Again this is normal for steel fireboxes, and is not a defect.
Cleaning the Glass
During the first few fires, a white film may develop on the glass front, as part of the curing process. The glass should be cleaned after the unit has cooled down or the film can bake on and become very difficult to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and do not attempt to clean the glass while it is hot.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
A. This appliance has a pilot which must be lighted by hand. When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly.
B. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
What to do if you smell gas
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by hand,
don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service technician or gas supplier. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireboxes, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air form the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation:
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction 2. Unconfined Space 3. Confined Space.
The information on pages 9 through 11 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in building of usually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where: a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one
perm (6 x 10-11 per pasec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and
floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 11.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1, 1992 Section 5.3) defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
*Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.
DETERMINING AIR FLOW FOR FIREBOX LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space
Use the work sheet on the next page to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install firebox plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
WARNING
This firebox shall not be installed in a confined space unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
