some expansion and/or contraction noises during the

It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing
of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufac-
turing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated-
open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it.
