Safety and Warning Information READ and UNDERSTAND all instructions carefully before starting the installation. FAILURE TO FOLLOW these installation instructions may result in possible fire hazard and will void the warranty. Prior to the first firing of the fireplace, READ the Owner’s Information section of this manual. DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been under water.
Safety and Warning Information Operating Your Fireplace for the First Time When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some vapors may be released due to the burning of curing compounds used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause the flames to be the full height of the firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation. It is also possible that these vapors could set off any smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity.
