6 - EXTERNAL AIR INTAKE
You can connect an external air source directly to
this stove using an optional external air intake kit.
The advantage of providing external air directly
to the stove is that the air used by the stove for
combustion purposes is taken from outside the
house and not inside the room where the stove is
located.
The external air intake kit for this range allows the
direct connection of the air inlet to a conduit with
a 76mm diameter (supplied by a third party) that
connects the kit with the outside of the house.
When considering the placement of the duct from
outside the house to the stove, keep in mind the
need to avoid structural elements of the house.
The external air intake kit is attached to the rear of
the stove. See the instructions provided with the
installation kit.

Hergom recommends installing the pipe outside
the house at the same level or lower than stove's
own air intake.
Place the end of the pipe on the outer wall of the
house, so as to avoid the possibility of blockage by
snow, leaves or other materials. Protect the end of
the pipe using a 5 x 5 mm mesh to protect against
rodents and cover it with a hood so that the wind
and rain will not affect the stove's combustion
properties.
7 - OPERATION
After an expert has installed the Manchester
stove (see Installer's Manual), you may light it up.
Each chimney installation, each type of wood and
each management technique are different. Learn
to use the stove in the most efficient manner
possible. We can provide some basic principles,
but its maximum potential can only be achieved if
handled safely.
WARNING! THE STOVE IS VERY HOT WHEN BEING
USED. KEEP CHILDREN, ELDERLY PEOPLE, PETS,
CLOTHES OR FURNITURE AWAY FROM THE STOVE.
DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE STOVE MAY CAUSE
SEVERE BURNS TO SKIN.
Read this chapter completely before lighting the
stove for the first time. It explains the stove's
controls and features, how to choose firewood and
how to use the stove daily on a daily basis.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Before lighting the stove, you should become
familiar with the location and operation of its
controls and with the stove's features. For your
own safety, do not change any of these features
in any way. We recommend using the safety glove
when the stove is hot and being used.
