(Polished Brass & Brushed Stainless Kits Only): The ﬁnish on the polished brass and brushed stainless louvers will require heat to harden and cure (after approximately 3 ﬁres, the ﬁnish will be completely cured). Prior to burning this appliance, the polished brass and brushed stainless surfaces should be cleaned thoroughly with a good window cleaning solution and a soft cloth. Do not use any metal polishes or abrasives to clean the surfaces. Any oils or ﬁngerprints left on the ﬁnish during the curing process may become permanent blemishes.
