C. After Appliance is Lit
When you light your gas stove, you may notice that it pro-
duces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If
you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three
to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second
burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation
on the inside of the glass is normal.
NOTE: The gas stove should be run three to four hours
on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely.
Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the
gas stove for an additional 12 hours. This will help to cure
the products used in the paint and logs.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the gas stove’s initial burning.

ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the gas stove warms,
this condensation will disappear.
Blue fl ames This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the gas stove
is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from gas stove When fi rst operated, this gas stove may release an odor for the fi rst several hours.
This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from
manufacturing.
Film on the glass This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be
cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the
manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas gas stove cleaner may be
necessary. See your dealer. Ensure glass has cooled before cleaning.
Metallic noise Noise is 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 the gas stove.
