Chimney Cleaning - hergom E-10 PLUS Instructions D'installation, De Service Et D'entretien

If a masonry chimney is used instead of metal pipes, we recommend the installation of a
hatch for regular cleaning and inspection. This hatch is normally located in the lowest part of
the chimney (for example in the basement of a house).
If the masonry chimney was built without a hatch or clearing door, inspections should be
performed from the connection point of the stove and the chimney.

1.3.2- CHIMNEY CLEANING

Use the appropriate anti-soot chimney brushes for the
most effective cleaning of the chimney.
The brushes should be adjusted as far as possible to
the diameter of the chimney.
To delay the need for general cleaning, we
recommend the regular use of the HERGÓM Anti-
soot product, which is available from any of our
suppliers.
Regular Inspections
Carry out the following inspections within the
recommended time limits.
Monthly:
 A visual inspection of the creosote level of the
chimney and its connector is recommended,
depending on the use of the appliance.
At the end of all seasons:
 Dismantle
thoroughly clean it.
 Replace any pipes that show signs of excessive
wear or deterioration.
 Inspect and, if necessary, clean and repair the
chimney.
1.3.3- CREOSOTE
Slow burning wood produces tar and other organic
vapours, which combine with atmosphere moisture to
form creosote. These creosote vapours may condense
if the chimney walls are cold. Extremely hot fires may
occur if the creosote ignites. Any build-up of creosote
must be eliminated immediately. As the build-up of
creosote depends on many variables, it is extremely
difficult to predict exactly when the chimney should be
cleaned. Visual inspection is the safest way of checking whether your chimney is creosote
free. For this reason, we recommend that the installations are easily accessible for
inspection.
To prevent the possibility of a fire, the venting system should be correctly installed.
Immediately replace any component that is rusted, cracked or broken.
