Dear Client, Congratulations on your new WANDERS gas replace. It will be a comfortable source of heat to enjoy for many years on end. Your gas hearth is tted with a so-called closed system double-walled ue. The ue gases are directly discharged through the inner ue. The outer pipe extracts fresh air which produces beautiful and evenly burning ames. In principle, your gas unit can be installed in all kinds of spaces, even in rooms without any ventilation or with mechanical ventilation. When designing this replace we took particular care of the ease of use, the safety and the design. Your gas unit is developed and produced at our own factory in Netterden (the Netherlands) and is for the greater part handmade. Only the best materials are used for the construction and comply with current international standards. This will guarantee that your hearth has a long life. The rst part of this user’s guide gives you tips and directions about how to use your gas replace correctly and safely. The second part of the manual contains the installation instructions and the technical specications of the gas unit. They are of particular importance to the installer. We advise you to read this manual thoroughly before using your new gas replace and to keep the manual in a handy place. Your installer may need the manual for the yearly maintenance of your replace. We wish you much warmth with your new replace! The WANDERS team18 General It is common practice for the dealer where you purchased your gas replace to take also care of installing it and connecting it to the gas mains. If this is not the case, please ensure that the installation is done by a certied installer. Connecting gas devices by unqualied persons is prohibited, in which case we cannot give any guarantee that your gas hearth is functioning properly. Batteries The batteries of the remote handset and the receiver will last for about one year. We recommend that you use alkaline batteries. You need to replace them when the LED of the remote set becomes dimmer and the word “BATT” appears in the display. The receiver will warn you if it’s batteries need to be exchanged. You’ll hear, during ignition, a beep for 0.8 seconds followed by 0,2 seconds silence. Replacing the batteries of the remote Open the lid in the backside cover. Gently remove the 9V block battery and disconnect it from the contact holder. Avoid pulling the cable. Connect the new battery, replace the set, and close the lid. Replacing the batteries of the receiver Pull the cover carefully from the bottom of the hearth. Gently pull the whole receiver from the holder in the base of the stove. Slide the lid open and place 4 new 1.5V batteries (type LR6 of AA). Ensure that you place the batteries into the receiver correctly. Then place the receiver again in the replace. Setting the remote control handset Once the batteries are placed, you need to set the electronic code (only when using it for the rst time). Press the reset button on the receiver until you hear 2 acoustic signs, and then release the reset button. Then press the small ame button within 20 seconds until you hear a long acoustic signal to conrm that the code has been set.

12. Close the gas tap.

Using the hearth for the rst time When you light your gas hearth for the rst 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 nger marks! Make sure to leave no nger 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 rst time, the hearth calculates how much time is needed to reach the preset temperature. On this basis, the hearth selects the most ecient way to heat the room. Ensure that no logs are placed in front of the pilot ame. The gas must be able to ow 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 ame alight in heating season to prevent condensation and possible calcication 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.

!22 Maintenance Small maintenance Avoid the air in your room to be lled 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 coee or something else has spilt on the ornamental moulding while the hearth is burning, turn the unit o immediately. When the hearth has cooled o, 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 certied 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 outow of gas) and the ignition of the main burner.

• The entire pipe system, including the exterior wall or roof duct and the external outlet.

• Inspection of possible wear and tear of the sealing of the doors and glass panes.

• The following components will be cleaned: the main burner, the pilot light, the ue tube and the supply of combustion air. Any dust collected in the hearth can be removed with a vacuum cleaner. Safety A WANDERS source of heat is more than just a stove in your room; the ue and the exterior wall and/or roof duct are also part of the heating system. Only when your gas hearth is installed with the concentric ue designed by WANDERS can we guarantee that your hearth is burning safely. Every gas hearth by WANDERS is installed with a thermocouple interrupter. This will prevent unexpected gas ow if the pilot light has gone out. Here are some recommendations for safely using your gas stove:

• Only use your gas hearth if it is properly closed. If the glass is broken, you must not use the replace.

• Prevent small children or the inrm from getting too close to a burning stove and do not leave them alone in the room when the stove is burning. You could use a re-screen.

• Put the ignition knob on the ‘small ame’ symbol to put the remote control out of operation while the pilot ame stays alight. This will ensure that no one can accidentally put the hearth higher or lower.

• Never allow children to play with the remote handset.

• Do not pour or put combustible liquids and materials on the log set, as it may damage the replace beyond repair.

• Do not place any combustible materials, such as curtains, close to the replace. A minimum distance of 1.5 metres is required.

• The gas hearth must be repaired with original parts only, and by a certied installer.

• If for any reason the pilot light goes out, you must wait 5 minutes before igniting the hearth again. Possible error messages If your gas hearth does not function as planned you must contact the seller of your gas hearth or a certied installer. If the pilot ame does not ignite, you can take action yourself.

• Check whether the gas supply is open. If you are unable to detect it please contact your supplier.

• A possible cause is air in the pilot duct. Wait for ve minutes and re-ignite the hearth. If this fails again you should contact a certied installer. !23

The guarantee includes all defects which can be reduced to aws in material and construction, in which case you will receive the new parts free of charge. Labour costs or other expenses are not covered by the guarantee. You can send defect parts (carriage paid) to WANDERS Metaalproducten B.V., Amtweg 4, 7077 AL in Netterden [The Netherlands]. The guarantee does not include: failure due to improper use; non-compliance with the installation and operating instructions; installation by a non-certied installer; negligence of the apparatus and converting the hearth to be red with another kind of gas. WANDERS cannot be held responsible for any cracks in stuccoed walls or discolouration of walls, ceilings and/ or grates after burning the replace. Discolouration is caused by dust particles burning in the convection cover. To reduce the chance of cracks in stucco and to minimize discolouration we refer to the advice given for decorative hearths. Your installer can give you more information. Any complaints will be dealt with after the sales rm, the installer or the gas company has led a complaint and sent a copy of the purchase receipt with purchase date. Any repairs do not entitle you to extend the guarantee term. All consequential damages or loss are excluded. Installation instructions Your gas hearth must only be installed by a certied installer in combination with WANDERS’ concentric pipe system. Only then will the hearth be approved according to the European CE standard for gas appliances. We will not give any guarantees if the gas stove is tted and/or installed in an incomplete or improper manner. The ue has an inside duct 100 mm in diameter and an outside duct 150 mm in diameter. Flue gases are discharged by natural draught to the outside air via the 100mm inside duct, while combustion air is supplied between the 100mm and 150mm channels. The appliance may only be installed and connected by a certied installer in accordance with the standard gas installation instructions and the installation requirements mentioned below. Furthermore, the national and local rules and regulations on placing and using closed gas appliances shall be applicable. Only a certied installer has the authority to change the setting values (in accordance with the requirements) and to carry out any other adjustments. Before installing the appliance, the installer must check whether the information on the type tag of the replace corresponds with the gas type and gas pressure to which the appliance is connected. If it does not match, you are not allowed to connect the gas hearth. Placing The gas replace can be placed in a crack-free and/or mechanically ventilated home without diculty. There is no need for extra ventilation for combustion or for a smoke and re vent. Waste gases are discharged by natural draught via the inner pipe into the open. The oxygen needed for burning the re is supplied from the space between the pipes. This is the reason that no insulation must be placed between the inner and outer pipe. !24 The Balsa must not be built into the wall, and must be placed on a oor that is solid enough to hold the appliance. The distance from the Balsa to the rear wall must be at least 10 cm, and there must be a free space of at least 80 centimetres to the right and left side of the replace. Be sure to place the Balsa on a solid oor plumb under the ue pipe. Insulation Due to the high temperatures of the exterior walls (up to approximately 150 °C or 300 °F) it is prohibited to have or to place any combustible materials close to the channel system. The entire concentric pipe system should be encased with reproof material from the place where it is out of sight up to the outlet in the exterior wall. Ventilate the encased concentric pipe system by placing a grate near the oor and the ceiling on every oor. Use universal wall clips with a diameter of 150 mm for anchoring the concentric pipe system. Do not insulate the concentric channel If an existing chimney is used, rst make sure whether the chimney is su ciently insulated and is wide enough to accommodate the concentric pipe system. If the chimney was previously used as a wood-burning or coal- red stove, it must rst be professionally cleaned. You must use special WANDERS connecting sets for connecting a gas hearth to an existing chimney. Gas connection

• Use a feed pipe with an approved G3/8” stop cock with coupling.

• De-aerate the supply pipe before tting and fastening the appliance.

• Avoid tension on the operating valve and pipes to avoid gas leakage.

• Check if the connection is gastight. Placing the concentric channel system The appliance is approved according to the European CE regulations for gas appliances with the WANDERS concentric ue systems (Ø 100 / 150 mm) and are to used only in that combination. The warranty will be partly or entirely invalid if another system is used during installation. The WANDERS concentric system (Ø 100 / 150 mm) can be used with existing situations or newly built situations. Instructions for placing the out ow The out ow of the pipe system can be placed on top of the roof or against the side wall of the house. Out ow on top of the roof When placing the out ow on top of the roof, make sure that there is a distance of at least 50 cm between the out ow and the edges of the roof, with the exception of a possible existing ridge. You must also take the place of the out ow into account in relation to the existing ventilation openings, movable windows and combustion air supply provisions. Please consult the national and local requirements. Out ow into the wall When placing the out ow into the side wall, make sure that there is distance of at least 50 cm between the out ow and the corners of the building, eaves, gutters, balconies and etceteras. You need not have this distance when the out ow runs to at least the front side of the overhanging part.

You must also take into consideration the place of the out ow in relation to the existing ventilation openings, movable windows and combustion air supply provisions. Please consult the national and local requirements. Placing possibilities for the pipe system The total length of the pipe system must never be more than 10 metres excluding the passage through the wall and the out ow. The maximum horizontal length is 3 metres. A 90° square angle counts as a length of 2 metres. A 45° turn counts as a length of 1 metre. For the combined ue tube and combustion air supply you must apply one of the following set-up possibilities of the WANDERS concentric pipe systems: with wall duct, with roof duct, or with roof duct with bend. Because of the high outer temperatures of the ue system ( around ± 150°C) it’s not allowed to use flammable materials near the flue system. Therefore it is advised to surround the flue system, on locations where it is not in direct view, with non-flammable materials. Make sure this construction is sufficiently ventilated (per floor) by installing ventilation grids near the floor and the ceiling. It’s not allowed to insulate the concentric ue system. Use universal wall brackets of Ø 150 mm to attach the surround of the concentric ue system to any construction. Select one of the connection possibilities. Then build up the rst metre of concentric pipe from the counterpart in the appliance. If you can see the blue rubber ring in the pipe from above, you will know that the assembly is correct. Keep a distance of at least 5 centimetres between the outer wall of the concentric pipe and the ceiling. Always start with 1 meter vertical. Pay special attention to proper installing when, due to circumstances, a part of the double-walled pipe system must be built in. Gastype A (min.-max.) B (min. - max.)

• Always allow one metre vertical before passing through the outer wall.

• The maximum length for a horizontal segment is 3 metres.

• Determine the location of the appliance and the exterior wall duct.

• Make an opening of Ø 160 mm for the wall duct.

• Connect the wall duct vertically with a curve to the mouth of the appliance, push them rmly together and place the clip binding. The blue rubber ring ensures sucient sealing of the outlet of the ue gas system.

• If the appliance is placed more than 1 meter from the outside wall, place the rst meter on top the appliance, then the elbow followed by the wall outlet. Finally make sure the construction is gastight. Roof outlet The roof outlet may pass through any point of the roof, with a bend to the ridge, if so desired. The roof outlet is supplied with a universally adjustable plate for a sloped roof, or with an adhesive plate for a at roof.

• Determine the location of the hearth and the roof outlet.

• Make an opening of Ø 160 mm.

• Connect the pipes vertically to the outlet of the hearth, press it in place and secure it with the clip.

• Determine the length of the pipes you need, and ensure that the adhesive strip or the universal tile is properly linked up with the roof.

• Saw the outer pipe o to measure and link the roof outlet to the concentric pipes. Placing the pipe system rst and then placing the hearth You can also place the concentric pipe system before placing the appliance. In such case, ensure that you make the connection with the appliance with an extendable pipe. Placing the hearth

• The appliance may never be built in.

• If there are any ammable materials behind or along the gas stove, you must place reproof sheets.

• The minimum distance from the appliance to the rear wall must be 10 cm. The minimum distance on the left and right sides of the stove must also be 80 cm.

• The appliance must be placed on a oor that is solid enough to hold it.

• It is forbidden use and/or to place ammable materials, such as curtains, in the vicinity of the appliance; it is

safe to keep them at a distance of at least 1.5m. Opening the stove Remove the 4 nuts with wrench 10 and remove the glass pane (caution: the pane is made of cast iron and is rather heavy). Do not touch the glass with your ngers as nger marks will burn into the glass. Before relighting the stove, make sure that the door is closed correctly again Mounting the collar shaft Depending on the length and the form of the concentric duct system Ø 100 - Ø 150 mm and the outlet construction, you must mount a collar shaft with a diameter of Ø 50mm or Ø 70mm according to the tables on page 26. The standard passage for ue gases is Ø 100 mm on the upper side of the combustion chamber. Ensure that the collar shaft is properly tted. Fitting the collar shaft incorrectly may cause defects to the appliance.

!28 Placing the log set Be sure to place the logs exactly as shown in the example. Place the wood set (7 pieces), and keep in mind that the logs must be arranged exactly like the example. First place the rear log, then put the glow wool on the burner, and then arrange the rest of the logs. Once everything is placed exactly as shown in the pictures, you can ll the gaps with bark (but do not place any bark or vermiculate granules on the burner.) Then replace the glass pane carefully. Please make sure not to touch the glass with your ngers. Finger marks burn in the glass. Be sure that the door is correctly closed before igniting the hearth. Avoid putting a log in front of the pilot ame as this will prevent the main burner from igniting and may result in the accumulation of unburned gases in the hearth. If this happens, you must put o the pilot ame and contact your installer. It is prohibited to add any extra ceramic (wooden) logs or other materials to the log set. Using vermiculite granules on the burner is prohibited. It will prevent the hearth from working properly and can damage the hearth beyond repair. It is strongly recommended that you replace the ceramic wooden logs only by the same kind of logs produced by WANDERS.
