First Lighting - Hergom Manchester Instructions D'installation, De Service Et D'entretien

The bypass knob must be open when lighting the
stove and until the catalyst heats up enough to reach
activation temperature. It must also be open when-
ever the front door is opened to load the stove.
When the bypass valve is closed, combustion prod-
ucts pass through the catalyst.
The bypass knob must be closed when the catalyst
has reached activation temperature and remain
closed while the stove is operating in the "CATALYST
ACTIVE" temperature range.
Always use the fireproof glove.
Catalyst Thermometer
The catalyst thermometer monitors the temperature
of the combustion gases through the catalyst and
indicates when the stove is in the active catalyst
range. (Fig. 9)
When the stove is in the "active" range ("CATALYST
ACTIVE"), the bypass control must be closed.
When the stove is in the "inactive" range
("INACTIVE"), the bypass control must be opened
until the stove heats up.
If the thermometer is in the "too hot" range ("TOO
HOT"), keep the door closed, fully close the combus-
tion air supply, and allow the stove to cool down until
the thermometer reads in the "active" range
("CATALYST ACTIVE").
Once the catalyst thermometer reaches the active
range, the heat from the combustion keeps the cata-
lyst hot and active.

VERMICULITE-COATED APPLIANCES.
Vermiculite is a material with very acceptable me-
chanical resistance, but if hit hard it can break.
Insert the wood carefully.
Breakage of the vermiculite due to improper use is
not covered by the product warranty.
HEATERS WITH MAJOLICA ENAMEL
VERY IMPORTANT!
In the case of stoves enamelled in Majolica, it is nor-
mal for slight fissures to appear in the glazing provid-
ing 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 lev-
els of the cast iron and the Majolica enamel with vit-
reous components, can cause the enamel to chip.
To avoid this inconvenience, control combustion and
never overheat the heater.
INDUSTRIAS HERGÓM S.L. may not be held liable for
any deterioration of the heater's enamel caused by
any breach of these instructions.
4. LIGHTING AND USE

4.1 - FIRST LIGHTING

Important: at first start may come off a few drops of
condensed water from the appliance, produced by
the humidity of the environment where the stove
was stored.
It is very important that the first time the heater is
lit, it is done so slowly.
This is for the following reasons:

Stabilise cast iron parts.

Allow the paint and joint sealing cement to
cure properly .
Advise:

While lighting for the first time, ensure the
room where the heater is located is well venti-
lated as the paint work may let off some
fumes. This process is essential to ensure prop-
er bonding and hardening.

During the paint curing process, it is essential
to avoid contact with the surface of the appli-
ance, as the paint has not yet reached its maxi-
mum resistance. Any handling at this stage
