General

After the appliance is lit, there’s an odor coming from the appliance
When first operated, the appliance may release an odor.  This is caused by the curing of the paint.  This is a normal result!  Ventilate the room thoroughly.

The air grilles (on top) draw air
The grilles, warm / cold air, are not connected to the fireplace.
Contact your professional dealer and have the grilles connected or close / cover the connection pieces.

The stucco on the wall shows bursts on the frontside
The appliance has not been properly covered with insulation or not insulated at all.
The consequences are that there is heat transfer to the other materials.  Contact your professional dealer.

A black, rusty dust is forming against the warm air grilles
The cold air grilles absorb small dust parts.  Because of the air warming up, the dust parts warm up as well and mingle with the warm air which leaves through the air grilles.
Then the dust parts cool off and settle on the appliance.  Dust the grilles as often as possible with a duster and use a vacuumcleaner.

The corners on the frontside of the fireplace are damaged
The brickwork or stucco has been done too close to the fireplace.  Contact your professional dealer.

Ceramic glass :
You can clean the glass as much as you want with a detergent.  Make sure that the glass is dry before you put the frame back in the fireplace.  Never let the glass dry when the frame is reinstalled (may cause corrosion).
