INSTRUCTIONS
1) | Always turn off the valve before cleaning. |
| For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. |
| Keep the burner and control compartment |
| clean by brushing and vacuuming at least |
| once a year. When cleaning the logs, use |
| a soft clean paint brush as the logs are |
| fragile and easily damaged. |
2) | Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appli- |
| ance, and door with a damp cloth. Never |
WARNING: CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SUR- FACE TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE.
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably yellow flames, not coming into proper contact with the rear of the burner or thermopile.
use an abrasive cleaner. |
The porcelain enamel finished stoves may |
be cleaned with ordinary household glass |
cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel. |
Never clean when unit is hot and never use |
an abrasive cleaner. |
3) The heater is finished in a porcelain finish |
or with a heat resistant paint and should |
only be refinished with heat resistant paint |
(not with wall paint). Waterford uses Stove- |
Bright Paint - Metallic Black #6309. |
Never use an abrasive cleaner on the |
porcelain finish as it may scratch the sur- |
face. |
4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper |
position and condition. Visually check the |
flame of the burner periodically, making |
sure the flames are steady; not lifting or |
floating. If there is a problem, call a qualified |
service person. |
5) Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnec- |
tion when servicing controls. Wiring errors |
can cause improper and dangerous oper- |
ation. |
6) The appliance and venting system must be |
inspected before use, and at least annual- |
ly, by a qualified field service person, to |
ensure that the flow of combustion and |
ventilation air is not obstructed. |
During the annual service call, the burners |
should be removed from the burner tray |
and cleaned. Replace the embers but do |
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN UNDER WATER. IMMEDIATELY CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT THE APPLIANCE AND TO REPLACE ANY PART OF CON- TROL SYSTEM AND ANY GAS CONTROL WHICH HAS BEEN UN- DER WATER.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMA- BLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE APPLI- ANCE.
8)Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This con- densation and fog is normal and will disap- pear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
Never operate the appliance without the glass properly secured in place or with the door open.
9)Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct flame pattern has three strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile and 1 around the thermocouple, and 1 flowing across the rear of the burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect flame pat- tern, contact your Waterford deal- er for further instructions.

GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
1)Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas that are exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These compo- nents should be replaced immediately.
2)Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material.
3)Check for evidences of excessive conden- sation, such as water droplets forming in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.
4)Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed, and conse- quently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
not block the pilot. |
7) Keep the area near the appliance clear and |
free from combustible materials, gasoline, |
and other flammable vapours and liquids. |
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERV- ICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERAT- ING THE APPLIANCE.

LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool before opening door to carefully remove the logs. The pilot light generates enough heat to burn someone. If for any reason a log should need replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. The position of these logs must be as shown in the diagram under Log Installa- tion.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create carbon
