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 using a commercial fireplace glass cleaner.
Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.
