It is normal for replaces 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 your Monessen gas replace to give
off some odor the rst time it is burned. This is due to the
curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the manu-
facturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated — open
all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your Monessen replace
for a least ten (10) hours the rst time you use it. If the
optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch
in the “OFF” position during this time.
