Burning these materials may result in release
of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective
and cause smoke. Intense firing with these
materials may overheat the fireplace, causing
damage to the unit, a fire or even possibly ignit-
ing a chimney fire if the chimney is creosoted.
Burning unapproved fuel, resulting in excessive
pollutants being emitted, may be prohibited and
subject to a fine or other penalty by the authority
having jurisdiction in your area.

Finish Door Casing Care

Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish
the casing. Do not use abrasives such as steel
wool, steel pads or an abrasive polish for they
may scratch the casing's finish.

DISPOSING OF ASHES

WARNING
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should
be placed in a steel container
with a tight fitting lid and moved
outdoors immediately. The closed
container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible floor
or on the ground well away from
all combustible materials, pend-
ing final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your
firebox, and when the fire has burned down and
cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed
approximately 1 inch deep on the firebox bottom
to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.

Remove ashes only when the fire is out and
the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the
fire is out).
Do not leave the ashes in the house as they give
off carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

REFRACTORY REPLACEMENT

The intense heat of the fire will normally cause
hairline cracks in the refractory. These cracks
can be minimized by proper curing as described
in "First Fires". They will not normally dimin-
ish the effectiveness of the refractory. If large
cracks develop, then the refractory should be
replaced. To replace the refractory bricks,
follow these steps:
1. Remove the front refractories
2. Remove the bottom refractory
3. Remove the left side refractory
4. Remove the right side refractory
5. Remove the back refractory
6. Remove the front ceramic baffle
7. Remove the rear ceramic baffle
To install the new refractories, follow the above
steps in reverse.

DOOR INSTALLATION

The door must be installed only when the
installation of the WCT4820WS fireplace is
completed. All you have to do is fit the male
part of the hinge, already on the door, to the
female part, which is on the fireplace.
To remove the door, simply pull the door up
from the hinges.
The door adjustment has been set at the factory.
If the fit is still not perfect, you can adjust the
door using the hinge screws.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT

The door may need to be adjusted to be com-
pletely airtight. The gaskets' air-tightness can be
adjusted using the adjustment screw located on
the right side of the fireplace facade (An Allen
key #1/8 – not supplied - will be necessary for
this adjustment).
Checking Door Seal - A one-inch strip of paper
may be used to perform a test of the integrity
of the door seal. Close the door on the paper
in at least eight points. It is normal to feel only
a slight amount of friction. The door gasket
does not need to be "tight" in all areas, since
a small amount of leakage is not hazardous or
detrimental to the performance of your fireplace.
