Note: When first running the heater there may
be an odor. This is normal as the heater has a
surface coating on the internal parts. For the
first several hours of operation, the coating
reacts with the internal parts to permanently
protect them. The odor is safe; if you are
sensitive to the odor, it is recommended
to run the heater in a well-ventilated area until
the odor dissipates.
Warning: This is an unvented, electric appliance.
DO NOT attempt to burn wood or manufactured
firelogs in or on this appliance or grate.
