F7 Normal Operating Sounds and Smells:
Note: Each time the re is lit from cold the glass may fog up with condensation. This is
normal and the condensation will disappear within a few minutes once the glass heats
up.
Sounds
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly
normal due to the fact that there are various types of materials used within your appli-
ance. Listed below are some examples. These are all normal operating sounds and should
not be considered as defects in your appliance.
• Fan:
Escea gas appliances use electric fans to push heated air further into the room. It is
not unusual for the fan to make a “whirring” sound when ON. This sound will increase
or decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of your fan.
• Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valves turn ON and OFF, a dull clicking sound may be audible, this
is the normal operation of a valve. When the re is switched o after being run for a
while, there may be popping and uttering noises as the residual gas in the burners
burns away. These are normal and should be no cause for concern.
• Unit Body/Firebox:
Dierent types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at dierent rates
resulting in some “cracking” and “ticking” sounds being heard throughout the heat-
ing and cool down processes.
Smells:
The rst few times the unit is operated, the unit may release an odour and the ames will
appear orange caused by the curing of the paint, the burning o of the starch in the gas
logs and the oils in the metal. This is a temporary curing process which will disappear
with use.
F8 Cleaning the glass
A deposit on the inside of the glass, caused by the starch in the logs, may appear as a
build up after several uses. If this lm is not removed, it will bake on and may become
dicult to remove. When the glass is cold, remove it and clean the inside with a non-
abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT. NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT WITH
THE GLASS REMOVED.
