flame. Look through the glass to see whether the pilot flame is burning.

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 cookers. Page 29 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.
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 32 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.
