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.
