MAINTENANCE
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
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
not block the pilot.
7) Keep the area near the appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapours and liquids.

Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably
yellow flames, not coming into proper contact
with the rear of the burner or thermopile.
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN
OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERV-
ICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE
REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERAT-
ING THE APPLIANCE.
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
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
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.
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 build-up and will al-
ter the unit’s performance which
is not covered under warranty.
