HEATERS WITH ENAMEL
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 characteris�c 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.L. may not be held liable for
the deteriora�on of the stove's enamel if these
instruc�ons are not followed.

5 - CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Your heater is a device that is subjected to extreme
temperatures and to the corrosive effects of combus�on
residual materials. Regular maintenance is essen�al for a
longer life and improved user experience. We
recommend performing the following inspec�ons
frequently.
DURING THE SEASON
•
Perform a visual inspec�on of the chimney. Clean
soot and tar if they have begun to accumulate on the
inner walls of the heater.
•
Check whether the doors close �ghtly; 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.
Preven�on against the creosote and its cleaning. To
avoid the creosote forma�on:
•
Keep the heater with the primary air control fully
open during 30 minutes daily to burn the creosote
deposited in the inside of the heater and of the flue
system.
•
A�er reloading the wood, keep the combus�on with
the primary air control fully open during 20 or 30
minutes. This way of opera�ng ensures, beforehand,
the opera�ng of the secondary combus�on, which,
when func�oning, minimises the creosote forma�on
in the chimney.
The connector tube to the chimney must be inspected at
least every month during the season the heater is in use
to determine if creosote has formed. If the creosote
residue is of 6 mm in accumulated depth, you must
eliminate it to reduce the fire risk.
