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 re-occur.
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.

Locating your Appliance
(above or below grade)
Installing with Top Vent
When you install your fireplace as in position ‘B’, ‘D’ or ‘E’, a minimum
of 6 inches (153mm) clearance must be maintained from the perpendicular wall and the front of the appliance.
Framing Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: when installing this fireplace against non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. Drywall should be installed over insulation to prevent
contact of insulation and unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace dimensions specified (See framing diagrams). Bend nailing tabs
forward on left and right of unit and place fireplace into framed enclosure. This allows for 1/2” in front of framing tabs for finishing
materials.
3. Drywall or other material can extend flush with the appliance on the bottom and sides of the fireplace.
4. Non-combustible materials such as brick and tile can be extended across the face of the fireplace. If wide brass trim kit is going to be
installed, brick and tile will have to be installed flush with the front of this appliance. If slim line brass trim kit is used, brick or tile may
extend past the front of unit.

extending in front of fireplace consult “Mantel and Mantel Leg
Drawings”.
If wide brass surround is used finish materials must be flush with
front of unit.
Note: When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such
paint or lacquer must be heat resistant (250˚F) to prevent
discoloration.
Warning:
Combustible objects must not be placed on
a non-combustible mantel unless the non-combustible mantel
meets the minimum height and width requirements for a
combustible mantel.
