FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time you use it with the fan on.
When first operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint, the burning off of any oils remaining from manufac- turing. Smoke detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the unit has cooled down. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
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 or the film will bake on and become very difficult to remove. Use a
AUTOMATIC
CONVECTION FAN
OPERATION
The fan operates automatically, turn the knob on the side of the faceplate to adjust to the desired speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comes up to operating temperature. After the unit has been turned off and the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range the fan will shut off automatically.
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly nor- mal due to the fact that there are various gauges and types of steel used within your appliance. Listed below are some examples. All are nor- mal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your appliance.
Blower:
Waterford gas appliances use high tech blow- ers to push heated air farther into the room. It is not unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound when ON. This sound will increase or decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the burner and logs and is made of a different gauge material from the rest of the firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at slightly different rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking" sounds. You should also be aware that as there are temperature changes within the unit these sounds will likely
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the switch contacts closing and is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight "whisper" sound.
