Ill.- LIGHTING UP AND POWER CONTROL
A.- The first time you light your fire.
Once your fireplace has been installed the seals of all the joins must be
tested to prevent any air from entering from outside which could impede the draft.
The first time a fire is lit it should be allowed to burn slowly for three or four
hours to make the different pieces airtight and to prevent any possible damage.
Industrias Hergóm S.A. recommends that the packaging (wood and
cardboard) is used for fuel for the first few times that a fire is lit.
This way the earth's resources are reused and the least amount of solid residue is
created.
B.- Primary air regulation.
The flow of air for the combustion is let in using the primary air valves Fig 14
(9).
The complementary baffle can be regulate in 2 position Fig. 14 (10)
It is recommended to fully open the primary air valves to allow a sufficient
amount of air to pass through for combustion to help the fire to burn and to prevent
the formation of tar.
This must be done when the fire is first lit so that the chimney heats up
rapidly preventing condensation and the formation of tar (soot).
It is very important that plenty of fuel is used to light the fire but afterwards
you can regulate the amount of fuel according to the amount of heat you want.
Once the chimney has heated up you must regulate the flow of air to the
combustion area.
The chimney should be heated on cold days, in winter, particularly
early in the morning after a frost. To heat the chimney put paper on the
deflector and set it alight. Repeat this operation as many times as necessary
until the chimney is hot.
TAKE CARE! If you are going to handle the applicance when it is
alight, either to regulate its combustion or to refuel it, you must protect your
hands using heat proof gloves as all the parts of the chimney get very hot
when it is in operation.
The SANTORINI stove is not designed to be used with a shared chimney.
The first time you light your fire you should open the windows to get rid of any
smoke and odours which could be produced when the solvents in the protective
paint, or any other material, are burned.
A.- Glass panes in the doors.
1- Cleaning
2- Foam based glass cleaners are quite effective.
Never attempt to clean the glass while the stove is lit. We recommend the
use of HERGÓM glass cleaners when the glass is cold
