Daily use
After lighting up for the first time, 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 time. This can damage your appliance and, therefore, it is a
situation 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 infiltration.
• Inappropriate fuel that produces high temperatures.
• Door not closed correctly.
BEWARE!
Uncontrolled air entry leads to overheating that may damage the stove.
HEATERS 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 overheating, 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 combustion and never overheat the heater.
INDUSTRIAS HERGÓM S.A. may not be held liable for the deterioration of the stove
’s enamel if
these instructions are not followed.
6 - CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Your heater is a device that is subjected to extreme temperatures and to the corrosive
effects of combustion residual materials. Regular maintenance is essential for a longer life and
improved user experience. We recommend performing the following inspections frequently.
DURING THE SEASON
• Perform a visual inspection of the chimney. Clean s o o t a n d t a r if they have begun to
accumulate on the inner walls of the heater.
•
Check whether the doors close tightly; adjust if necessary.
AT THE END OF THE SEASON
• Inspect and clean the chimney.
•
Use the vacuum cleaner to clean inside the heater and inspect it.
•
Any soot and tar (creosote) that has accumulated on the walls of the heater will
hinder performance.
•
Inspect door seals. These should be replaced when they no longer seal the door perfectly.
•
In the case of painted heaters, paint the cast iron parts again if necessary
CLEANING
Cleaning should always be performed when the heater is cold.
Cleaning ash.
These heaters are equipped with an ash pan located at the bottom of the heater.
Remove the ash pan and remove the ash.
Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from the house.
If necessary clean the ash pan housing.
Enamelled parts.
Preferably use a damp cloth.
Do not used strong or abrasives detergents that might damage the surface.
