Why does my fireplace or stove give off odour?

It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odour. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives,

silicones and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used

with the installations (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can react

with heat and cause odours).

It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with

the fan off after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours of

burn time, keep burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odours dissipate.

About curing of the paint

Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries

quickly in 15-20 minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature silicone

components, the paint will cure when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used.

The following information applies to the curing process to get the paint fully hard and durable.

Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between

each. Be aware during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside

of the glass doors. It is important to remove this white deposit from the glass doors with an appropriate

cleaner to prevent build-up (such as Windex or a commercial fireplace glass cleaner).

• Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.

• Ventilate well, open doors and windows.

• Do not touch during curing.

Noise coming from the fireplace?

• Noise caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound

produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of your

fireplace.

• Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at different rates resulting in “crack-

ing” and “ticking” sounds throughout the heating and cooling periods.

• You should also be aware that as temperatures change within the unit these sounds will likely re-

occur. Again this is normal for steel fireboxes, and is not a defect.

Cleaning the Glass

During the first few fires, a white film may develop on the glass front, as part of the curing process. The

glass should be cleaned after the unit has cooled down or the film can bake on and become very difficult

to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and do not attempt to clean the glass while it is hot.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION

Today’s homes are built more energy efﬁcient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods

help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and door s to keep the cold air out

and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.

While it is good to make your home energy

efﬁcient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter

your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for

proper combustion and ventilation.

Exhaust fans, ﬁreboxes, clothes dryers, and fuel burning

appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must

provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will

insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.

PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION

The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and

Ventilation:

All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classiﬁcations:

1. Unusually Tight Construction 2. Unconﬁned Space 3. Conﬁned Space.

The information on pages 7 through 10 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.

Unusually Tight Construction

The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in

building of usually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air.

Unusually tight construction is deﬁned as construction where:

a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one

perm (6 x 10-11 per pasec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and

b. weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and

c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and

ﬂoors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and

at other openings.

If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air.

See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 10.

If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to page 11.

Conﬁned and Unconﬁned Space

The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1, 1992 Section 5.3) deﬁnes a conﬁned space as a space whose volume is less than

50 cubic feet per 1,000 btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with

doors, are considered a part of the unconﬁned space.

*Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.

DETERMINING AIR FLOW FOR FIREBOX LOCATION

Determining if You Have a Conﬁned or Unconﬁned Space

Use the work sheet on the next page to determine if you have a conﬁned or unconﬁned space.

Space: Includes the room in which you will install logset plus any adjoining rooms with doorless

passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.

WARNING

This ﬁrebox shall not be installed in a conﬁned space

unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion

and ventilation air. Read the following instructions to

insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning

appliances in your home.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Cont.

1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).

Length x Width x Height = ______________ cu. ft. (volume of space)

Example: Space size 22ft. (length) x 18 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space)

If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the total

volume of the space.

2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.

______________ (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 63.3 or 63,300 (maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)

3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

Vent-free logset __________________ Btu/Hr

Gas water heater* __________________ Btu/Hr

Gas furnace __________________ Btu/Hr

Vented gas heater __________________ Btu/Hr

Gas ﬁrebox logs __________________ Btu/Hr

Other gas appliances* + __________________ Btu/Hr

Total = __________________ Btu/Hr

Example: Gas water heater 40,000 Btu/Hr

Vent-free ﬁrebox with log heater + 39,000 Btu/Hr

Total = 79,000Btu/Hr

* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to the

outdoors.

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.

__________________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)

__________________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)

Example: 63,300 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)

79,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)

The space in the above example is a conﬁned space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr the

space can support. You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are a follows:

A. Rework work sheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides and unconﬁned space, remove

door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms, See Ventilation Air from Inside Building, page 9.

B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See ventilation Air

from Outdoors, page 10.

C. Install a lower Btu/Hr logset, if lower Btu/Hr size makes

room unconﬁned.

If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the

space can support, the space is an unconﬁned space.

You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

WARNING

If the area in which the ﬁrebox and gas log heater may

be operated is smaller than that deﬁned as an unconﬁned

space, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air

by one of the methods described in the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, 1992, Section 5.3.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Cont.

VENTILATION AIR FROM INSIDE BUILDING

This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconﬁned space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconﬁned space,

you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12” of the ceiling and one within 12” of the ﬂoor on the wall

connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 4).

You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option

3, Figure 4). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA

54/ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and

Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

FIGURE 4 - Ventilation Air from Inside Building

WARNING

Rework worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining

unconﬁned space. The combined spaces must have

enough fresh air to supply all appliances in both spaces.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Cont.

VENTILATION AIR FROM OUTDOORS

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12” of the

ceiling and one within 12” of the ﬂoor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These

spaces include attics and crawl spaces.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent.

Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.
