Lighting The Fire - Hergom FIRE PIT Instrucciones Para Instalación, Uso Y Mantenimiento

5 – LIGHTING THE FIRE
Use small wood chips, paper or other natural elements to light the fire.
Then gradually add other larger pieces.
Do not use big logs. (<60cm.)
If you use charcoal, because you intend to cook, always use vegetable charcoal.
Use a poker or a heat-resistant glove to handle it.
Once you have finished using the appliance, let the fire extinguish itself.
Do not use water to extinguish it, as it can produce thermal stress to the parts that cause them to
break.
If you cannot let the fire go out by itself, use sand or earth to put out the flames.
Before using the appliance again, remove any sand or dirt.
6 – COOKING ON THE FIRE PIT
You can cook on your Fire Pit using the grills and griddles.
Roast meats and vegetables directly on the grills and griddles or use pots and pans, as if it were a
kitchen stove.
7 – CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning should always be done when the appliance is cold.
Cleaning of ashes
As explained above, the cast iron base version has an ashtray to be installed under the protective
cover of the lower air inlet, to prevent the ashes from "escaping" through the base.
Remove the grills and protective cover and pull the ashtray up and clean the ashes.
The rest of the ashes can be collected with a vacuum cleaner, or with a metal palette and a brush.
Put the ashtray back in place and reinstall the lid and casting racks in their position.
Ash disposal: ashes should be placed directly into a metal container with an airtight lid. Do not place
any other items or rubbish in the metal container.
Pending disposal, place the closed ash container on a non-combustible floor away from all combustible
materials, liquid fuels or vehicles. Keep the ashes in the closed container until completely cooled.
Never put ashes in wooden or plastic containers, in rubbish bins with other rubbish, or paper or plastic
bags, no matter how long the fire has been out. Embers within a bed of ashes can remain hot for
several days once they are removed from combustion.
Cleaning of Enamelled Parts
Preferably use a damp cloth.
Do not use strong detergents or abrasive products that could damage the surface.
Cleaning of Painted Parts
They should be cleaned with a completely dry cloth to avoid oxidation.
