2.- CLEANING
The most effective way of cleaning the chimney is by using suitable chimney
brushes. The brushes must be as tight fitting as possible to the chimney section.
To delay general cleaning, we recommend the periodic use of the HERGÓM Anti-soot
product, which can be found in any of our Distributors.
Industrias HERGÓM S.A. supplies a series of products for the preservation of your
Stove and chimney:
Heat resistant paint, refractory filler, anti-soot, lighting tablets, glass cleaner, etc.

A.- GENERAL PROCEDURES

There are certain risks to be taken into account when operating your solid fuel stove,
whatever the brand. These risks may be minimised if the instructions and recommendation
provided in this manual are followed.
Below are a series of standards and recommendations, although we especially
advise you to use your common sense:
1.- Do not excessively heat your stove for too long.
2.- Keep any combustible material (furniture, curtains, clothing, etc.) at a minimum
safety distance of 0.90 m.
3.- The ashes must be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from
the house.
4.- Never use liquid fuel to light your stove. Keep any type of inflammable liquid
(Petrol, oil, alcohol, etc. )
5.- Make periodic inspections of the chimney and clean it whenever necessary.
6..- Do not place the stove near to combustible walls.
Warning
Gas, wood or pellet fireplaces heat up when lit. As a result it is necessary to be
cautious and keep a certain distance away, especially children, old people, people
with special needs and pets while the fire is on.
Make sure that children and anyone else not used to the workings of a fireplace, are
supervised by an older person when near.
To avoid burns and also to protect vulnerable people it is advisable to use a fireguard
or screen. The use of heat resistant gloves are recommended when in contact with
the fireplace.

B.- DISTANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES

When positioning the stove, bear in mind the necessary safety distances, both for the
stove and the chimney, from combustible surfaces (wooden or papered walls, wooden floor,
etc.).
