Using the hearth for the first time

When you light your gas hearth for the first time, the hearth must 'anneal' . The unit has a heat-resistant lacquer which must
still burn in. Though this may give an unpleasant smell, it is otherwise harmless. It is advisable to burn the stove at its highest
position for about three hours while airing the room well.
Discolouration of walls, ceilings and grates
After lighting your hearth, the walls, ceilings and grates may show some discolouration. This is caused by the
dust particles that burn in the convection cover. This is a natural process for which WANDERS cannot be held
responsible. To minimize discolouring we refer to the advice given for atmospheric hearths. Your installer can
give you more information about this.
Some deposit may form on the ceramic glass of the door of the hearth. You can easily remove this deposit with a damp cloth
when the glass is cold. If necessary you can use a special cleansing agent for ceramic rings. Page 27 shows you how to remove
the glass.
Watch out for finger marks!
Make sure to leave no finger marks on the cleaned glass pane when you close the hearth door. Finger marks
leave stains which will burn in the glass.
When you ignite the hearth for the first time, the hearth calculates how much time is needed to reach the preset temperature.
On this basis, the hearth selects the most efficient way to heat the room.
Ensure that no logs are placed in front of the pilot flame. The gas must be able to flow unobstructed to the main
burner. The main burner is located underneath the log set. See page 28 for placing the ceramic log set properly.
It is advisable to keep the pilot flame alight in heating season to prevent condensation and possible calcification
on the inside of the door.
Newly-built house or recently renovated?
It is advisable to wait six weeks before lighting the hearth in a newly-built house that has recently been delivered,
or in a space that has recently been drastically renovated. The walls and ceilings still contain gases, softeners
and moist from plasterwork or paint. The warm air-streams may discolour the dust particles in the space which
may stick to walls and ceilings. When the moist in the walls and ceilings warm up it may also cause yellowish
stains.

Maintenance

Small maintenance

Avoid the air in your room to be filled with dust particles from tabacosmoke, candles and oillamps. These particles, when
burned near the appliance may settle as discolloration on the walls and ceiling. Ventilate the room where the appliance is
installed as much as possible. Remove any dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Clean the outside only when the hearth is cold.
If coffee or something else has spilt on the ornamental moulding while the hearth is burning, turn the unit off immediately.
When the hearth has cooled off, you can remove any stains with a damp cloth.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives and do not apply any stove polish.

Annual maintenance

Your gas hearth needs to be checked and maintained by a certified installer at least once a year. He will check the following:
• The air-tightness of the exhaust pipes for gas and fumes and the combustion air supply pipe.
• The proper functioning of the gas control block, the thermocouple interrupter (a safety measure against unexpected outflow
of gas) and the ignition of the main burner.
• The entire pipe system, including the exterior wall or roof duct and the external outlet.
