l) Metal, exterior chimneys must be made out of double, heat resistant pipes, which
have been specially constructed for solid fuel.
Ill.- LIGHTING UP AND POWER CONTROL
A.- The first time you light your fire.
Once your fireplace has been installed the seals of all the joins must be tested to
prevent any air from entering from outside which could impede the draft.
Before decorating the fireplace with bricks or any other non flammable material you
must test to see that it is working correctly.
The first time a fire is lit it should be allowed to burn slowly for three or four hours to
make the different pieces airtight and to prevent any possible damage.
Industrias Hergóm S.A. recommends that the packaging (wood and cardboard) is
used for fuel for the first few times that a fire is lit.
This way the earth's resources are reused and the least amount of solid residue is
created.
It is recommended that windows are kept open the first time that your fire is lit to get
rid of the smoke and odours which could be produced by the combustion of the paint
solvents or by any other materials.
The chimney should be heated on cold days in Winter particularly early in the
morning after a frost. To heat the chimney put paper on the wrought iron deflector
and set it alight. Repeat this operation as many times as necessary until the
chimney is hot.
TAKE CARE! If you are going to handle the equipment when it is alight, either
to regulate its combustion or to refuel it, you must protect your hands using heat
proof gloves as all the parts of the chimney get very hot when it is in use.
A.- Glass panes in the doors.
3. Cleaning
4. Foam based glass cleaners are quite effective.
Never attempt to clean the glass while the stove is lit. We recommend the use of
HERGÓM glass cleaners when the glass is cold
2. Replacement
The glass of the stove is heat proof and has been especially manufactured for wood
and/or coal burning stoves.
In the case of accidental damage the glass must be replaced by another pane of
glass of the same specifications. Please contact our agent so that he may supply you with
the correct pane of glass together with the instructions for its assembly and joins.
lV.- CLEANING.
