Tip for First-Time Use
When using this fireplace for the first time, or after a long period of storage, let the fireplace run for at least 15 minutes with the thermostat set at the maximum heat level to remove the “new product” smell. This smell is because the fireplace absorbs moisture,  creating an
odor similar to that of old leather. It will go away after a few minutes of use.
