A number of possible risks may arise when operating your solid fuel fireplace with fuel
of any brand.
The said risks can be minimised if the instructions and recommendations included in
this manual are followed.
Below, we shall recommend some rules and advice but, above all else, we recommend
common sense.
1. Keep any flammable material (furniture, curtains, clothes...) away from fireplace, at a
safety distance of at least 90 cm.
2. Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from the
house.
3. Do not use flammable liquids to light the fireplace.
Keep any type of flammable liquid (gasoline, alcohol,....) at a distance from the cooker.
4. Periodically inspect the chimney and clean whenever necessary.
5. Do not install near walls that are combustible or that feature any type of lining that
may be damaged or deformed by high temperatures (varnish, paint...).
6. 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.
HERGÓM, rejects any liability derived from a faulty installation or incorrect use and
reserves the right to alter its products without prior warning.
