R. Opacity (Smoke)
Opacity is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is
burning.
Opacity is measured in percent:
• 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by
the smoke column from a chimney, and
• 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen.
As you become familiar with your appliance, you should
periodically check the opacity. This will allow you to know
how to burn as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0%
opacity).
Q. Frequently Asked Questions

Odor from appliance When rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
