IMPORTANT NOTE

If the device is not installed correctly, it will not provide the excellent service for which it has been designed. Please, read these instructions in full and trust the work to a specialist. The surface of your device is protected by a coat of special anti-heat paint that resists high temperatures. When lighting the fireplace for the first few times, the said paint may emit some fumes. This is normal and is due to the evaporation of certain components of the paint while it adapts to the heat. We, therefore, recommend ventilating the room until this phenomenon ceases to appear.

INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT! All local regulations, including those that refer to national or European regulations, must be applied when installing this device. The way the E-30 Stove is installed will decisively affect safety issues and its correct operation. It is important to install the fireplace correctly. For the correct installation of the E-30 Stove and chimney, we recommend the installation be performed by a professional. The E-30 Stove provides heat by radiation; directly heating walls, ceilings…

USING THE STOVE

Once your stove has been installed and connected to the chimney, you are ready to light the fire.
Although your stove is easy to use, the combustion process of solid fuels is complicated, as it involves several factors and it takes time and experience to understand the process.
Before lighting your stove for the first time, please take time to become familiar with the different control systems and parts of the unit, how to choose the wood, how to light it and use it on a daily basis.
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND that the stove generates heat and, therefore, keep children, clothing, furniture… at a distance to prevent burns from direct contact with the appliance.
Below, we have included some advice on your stove and on its use. Please read with care.Door handle
To open the door, turn the handle upward to the open position, and gently pull.
The door can open up to 180º To close, turn the knob to the open position, close the  door, press slightly and turn the handle gently down to the closed position (Fig. 3).

Lighting up valve
Fully open the valve when lighting the stove (Fig. 3

Adjustment – Glass Cleaning Valve
Fully open the glass pane cleaning air valve when ighting the stove.
Once an ideal combustion rate has been achieved, adjust the vale to prevent excessive air intake, which  will cause excessive combustion levels andtemperatures.
The intermediate position is usually the ideal adjustment, depending on the quality of the draw of the chimney installed and on the type of fuel beingused (hard or soft wood) (Fig. 3).

Ash pan

Very important!
Only handle the ash pan when the stove is cold. Always avoid opening the ash- pan if your stove is in operation.
To clean the ash, lift the blind grill located at the bottom of the stove.
Use a tool (brush) to sweep the ash into the ashpan. The ash-pan is removed from under the stove tray (Fig. 4).
To remove the ash-pan from its position, pull the handle gently to release it. Once you have emptied the ashes, return the ash pan to the ash drawer, pushing it into place to create a seal.
Do not forget to replace the cover in the bottom of the fire box.

LIGHTING UP AND USE

Important at first start: may come off a few drops of condensed water from the stove, 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.
• Harden the joint sealant putty. Advise:
• We recommend that the first loads of fuel be small.
• To generate draw, heat the chimney by introducing some burning paper in the gap between the front and the deflector, directing it toward the chimney.
• While lighting for the first time, ensure the room where the heater is located is well ventilated as the paint work may let off some fumes.
• Keep the stove on for a few hours at this intensity.
• IMPORTANT! The total height of the fire load should not exceed 50% of the height of the combustion chamber.
• The heater must be closed at all times during combustion to prevent smoke from leaking out. Only open to add fuel.

Daily use
After lighting up for the first time, your heater will be ready for daily use. Your heat requirements will be obtained based on the frequency and the amount of firewood you load. When your heater is cold, we recommend lighting it up slowly.

Overheating

Overheating means that you have operated your heater at a excessively high temperatures for a long period of time. This can damage your appliance and, therefore, it is a situation that must be avoided. Overheating is the result of excessive draw, due to any of the following reasons:

• The Primary Air Valve is excessively open for the type of wood being used.
• The chimney is too big.
• Improper maintenance of the stove, which may result in air infiltration.
• Inappropriate fuel that produces high temperatures.
• Door not closed correctly.

ATTENTION!
During the operation of the stove, the ash pan cover must be perfectly positioned to seal the fire box. Any uncontrolled intake of air produces overheating that can damage the stove.

HEATERS WITH ENAMEL IN MAJOLICA VERY 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 characteristic appearance, once the heater is lit.
However, in the event of uncontrolled overheating, 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 combustion and never overheat the heater.
INDUSTRIAS HERGÓM S.L. may not be held liable for the deterioration of the stove’s enamel if these instructions are not followed.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Your heater is a device that is subjected to extreme temperatures and to the corrosive effects of combustion residual materials. Regular maintenance is essential for a longer life and improved user experience. We recommend performing the following inspections frequently.

DURING THE SEASON

• Perform a visual inspection 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 tightly; 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.

Cleaning ash.
These heaters are equipped with an ash pan located at the bottom of the heater. Remove the ash pan and remove the ash. Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from the house. If necessary clean the ash pan housing.

Enamelled parts.
Preferably use a damp cloth. Do not used strong or abrasives detergents that might damage the surface.

Painted parts
Clean with a dry cloth to avoid rust.

Chimney and connecting unit
Read the chapter in the Manual for Installers that refers to this topic.

DOOR PANES

Cleaning
Fireplace window cleaning liquids are quite effective products. Never try to clean the glass while the fireplace is working. We recommend using HERGOM window cleaning products for their proven efficacy. If the glass pane on the fireplace door is constantly covered in soot, this means your fire is “poor” and that the connecting pipe and chimney are being blocked by soot and creosote.

Replacing.
The glass panes in your heater have been especially manufactured for log stoves. If they should break, they must be replaced by another glass pane with the same technical specifications. Contact our Distributor to provide you with the appropriate glass pane, together with instructions to assemble and seal.

SAFETY

WARNING!
Gas/log/pellet units get hot when in use. Consequently, owners must act with precaution and keep at a distance. Especially keep children, the elderly and other people who require special supervision, as well as pets, away from the fireplace when it is in use.
Make sure that children or other people who are not familiar with how the device works are supervised by responsible people when they are near the fireplace.
In order to prevent burns or children or other people from coming near the appliance, use a fire grille or screen.
A number of possible risks are present when operating your solid fuel oven with fuel of any brand. The said risks can be minimised if the instructions and recommendations included in this manual are followed.

• When installing the stove, observe the necessary safety distances for the oven and chimney from combustible surfaces (wooden or papered walls, wooden floors…). Safety distances must be respected when the lining on walls or nearby areas may be damaged or deformed by temperature (varnish, paint, PVC…). Fig. 6
• The base where you are going to install your heater must be flat and provide a perfect seat. The said base must also be capable of supporting the weight of the heater. The base must be built using heat resistant materials.
• All the area around the heater should must be heat resistant. If not, they must be protected by fireproof material.
• Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from the house.
• Do not use flammable liquids to light the stove. Keep any type of flammable liquid (petrol, gasoline, alcohol,….) at a distance from the fireplace.
• Never use coal or fuels that are not recommended for the operation of this product.
• Periodically inspect the chimney and clean whenever necessary. Also inspect the state of joints, glass, screws…
• Protect your hands with a glove or other insulating material because, during operation, the opening and closing handle will be hot.

OUTSIDE AIR CONNECTION

• When installing the stove using the outside air connection, we recommend that the installation is performed by qualified personnel.
• Always keep in mind that air is entering the stove through the connector. This air inlet can never be blocked. Ensure that the pipe connecting the stove to the outside cannot be crushed and that the entrance to the pipe cannot be blocked on the outside. It is necessary to cover the inlet with a protective grill.
• The location of the outside air inlet of air must be protected from the wind to avoid a possible positive or negative pressure from affecting the combustion of the stove.
• Refer to the technical specifications at the end of this manual for the minimum diameter and the maximum length of the pipe to be connected.
