ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the ¿ replace warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue À ames
This is a result of normal operation and the À ames will begin to yellow as the ¿ replace is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from ¿ replace
When ¿ rst operated, this ¿ replace may release an odor for the ¿ rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from
¿ nishing materials and adhesives used near the ¿ replace. These circumstances may require
additional curing related to the installation environment.
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. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass
cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
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 ¿ replace.
