4 - LIGHTING UP AND USE
Important at first start:
A few drops of condensed
water may come from the stove, produced by the
humidity of the environment where the stove was
stored.
It is very important that the first �me the heater is
lit, it is done so slowly.
This is for the following reasons:
• Stabilise cast iron parts.
• Harden the joint sealant putty.
Advise:
• We recommend that the first loads of fuel be
small.
• To generate draw, heat the chimney by
introducing some burning paper in the gap
between the front and the deflector, direc�ng
it toward the chimney.
• While ligh�ng for the first �me, ensure the
room where the heater is located is well
ven�lated as the paint work may let off some
fumes.
• Keep the stove on for a few hours at this
intensity.
•
IMPORTANT! The total height of the fire load
should not exceed 50% of the height of the
combustion chamber.
•
The heater must be closed at all times during
combustion to prevent smoke from leaking
out. Only open to add fuel.
Daily use
A�er lighting up for the first �me, your heater will
be ready for daily use
.
Your heat requirements will be obtained based on
the frequency and the amount of firewood you
load.
When your heater is cold, we recommend lighting
it up slowly.
Overheating.
Overheating means that you have operated your
heater at a excessively high temperatures for a
long period of �me. This can damage your
appliance and, therefore, it is a situa�on that must
be avoided.
Overheating is the result of excessive draw, due to
any of the following reasons:
• The Primary Air Valve is excessively open for
the type of wood being used.
• The chimney is too big.
• Improper maintenance of the stove, which may
result in air infiltra�on.
• Inappropriate
fuel
that
produces
high temperatures.
• Door not closed correctly.
ATTENTION!
During the operation of the stove, the ash pan
cover must be correctly posi�oned to seal the fire
box.
Any
uncontrolled
intake
of
air
produces
overhea�ng that can damage the stove.
S
TOVES
WITH ENAMEL IN MAJOLICA VERY
IMPORTANT!
In the case of stoves enamelled in Majolica, it is
normal for slight fissures to appear in the glazing,
providing the product with its characteristic
appearance, once the heater is lit.
However, in the event of uncontrolled overhea�ng,
these fissures caused by the different expansion
levels of the cast iron and the Majolica enamel with
vitreous components, can cause the enamel to
chip.
To avoid this inconvenience, control combus�on
and never overheat the heater.
INDUSTRIAS HERGÓM S.A. may not be held liable
for the deterioration of the stove’s enamel if these
instruc�ons are not followed.
