It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel
to give off some expansion and/or contraction
noises during the start up or cool down cycle.
Similar noises are found with your furnace heat
exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for gas replaces to give off some
odor the rst time it is burned. This is due to the
manufacturing process.
It is recommended that you burn your replace
for at least ten (10) hours the rst time you use it.
Place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during
this time.
